Standing up an enterprise level kube cluster is a 400-500k / year job
Ha! In what currency? Because it sure as hell isn’t dollars. Average senior level positions are in the high 100 to low 200k range.
Also, OP is talking about LFS… No one is going to ask them to do that shit either. All of this is a learning exercise. I didn’t say anything about an enterprise level anything. Standing up a cluster is a learning exercise.
Old school admin jobs are drying up extremely fast. The job market and a MASSIVE amount of development effort is going into the kube ecosystem. If you resist this change, you’re just going to fall behind.
