I think the takeaway was Kubernetes did not work for their team. Kubernetes was probably not the root problem but it sounds like they simplified their infrastructure greatly by standardizing on a small set of technologies.
Kubernetes is not an easy to use technology and sometimes its documentation is lacking. My gut feeling is Kubernetes is great if you have team members who are willing to learn how to use it, and you have a LOT of different containers to run. It probably is not the best solution for small to medium sized teams because of its complexity and cost.
