I know, it's really sad. Kubernetes won because of mindshare and hype and 500,000 CNCF consulting firms selling their own rubbish to "finally make k8s easy to use".
It's also sad how much Hashicorp apparently ignores marketing for it. Especially when it works with Consul which is already in a lot of places. Also another funny memory is going into a decomm meeting where I was gonna ignore it like usual since 99% of it was another team decommissioning on-prem stuff. And out of nowhere I hear "we just got approval to decomm Consul. We'll be shutting down the servers in two weeks and waiting to see if anything breaks.." followed by my very stern "NO YOU WILL NOT" ahaha. What a mess that company was
