Call me old-fashioned but I don't find this "easier". Maybe it's easier in the same way that Kubernetes itself is easier than managing VMs and container deployments at massive scale without such a tool. But there's a vast chasm between what this tool is being sold as and what it actually is.
Yes perhaps easy refers to when actually using AX as a platform for deploying and managing agents, not actually installing and managing AX itself. I think it's awesome they targeted kubernetes but it's not easy from a human perspective. However with documentation and an AI assistant working with Kubernetes is so nice. I have worked with all the big clouds and Kubernetes a lot. But with AI it's so much faster and nicer to work with Kubernetes. It's so easy to debug and find issues in Kubernetes since the models know's Kubernetes so well. It quickly find issues and just fixes them. With the cloud deployment and changes are usually pretty slow and also it's sometimes tricky to debug if ex enough info isn't exposed. With Kubernetes every little atom is available for inspection by the AI.
