AI Writes Kubernetes YAML in Seconds: The Real Value of Ops Engineers

The article tests AI tools like DeepSeek for generating Kubernetes YAML, finding they handle standard templates well but fail on cluster-specific configs, security, probes, resource quotas, and complex multi-CRD scenarios. It argues ops engineers' value lies in troubleshooting, architecture decisions, incident handling, setting standards, and building platforms—not writing YAML—and advises embracing AI for drafts while deepening core expertise.
