If Kubernetes is solving a problem of employees, making it easier to find jobs elsewhere, and making it easier for companies to find standard people, why are Kubernetes profiles more expensive?
Dev ops skills are expensive in general for one, but the second reason is Kubernetes is only starting to get to popularity and mass adoption. Look at the 2021 and 2022 stack overflow surveys under tooling to see the difference in adoption rates. It’s ramping up. I’d say it’ll take about 5 years or more until it’s at ubiquity and then that won’t be a hard to find skill and then not more pricey.
