Here's the thing, we've code running on VPS in cloud for a decade with any problem

When we ran it on kubernets, without touching it, it broke itself in 3 years.

Docker is fantastic developement tool, I do see real value in it.

But kubernets and whole ecosystem? You must apply updates or your stuff will break one day.

Currently I am using docker with docker compose and GCR, it does make things very simply and easy to develop and it's also self documenting.

Kubernetes doesn't break on itself. This is totally untrue. The only thing that is a timebomb are the ssl certificates it is using but they can easily be checked and renewed.

    I'm pro kubernetes, but AWS does push you to upgrade your cluster fairly often (annually?) which could break things. It would be cool if kubernetes had LTS releases.

    We were using gcp and aws managed kubernets.

    Same experience in both places.

    The app broke itself.

    Now we don't use managed kubernets anymore.
