We don't use k8s and you don't have to either. This is for current and future users who absolutely want k8s. We are a compute provider after all and making it easy to host a great variety of apps is good for our users.

We really didn't expect so many people to read this like "Fly is going all K8s"! It's interesting.

There are a substantial number of frankly ignorant people on HN who see K8S and run for the hills just because it is something they genuinely do not comprehend or were burned by an inappropriate deployment. The irony is that you arent switching to K8s, you are simply offering it as a compatibility layer, and still seeing flak. Case in point.

fly.io employee here, it's basically an adaptor from the Kubernetes world of YAML to the fly.io world of Machines. How could we have framed it better so that it was more clear?
