I think your stance might be off. The groundswell of voters doesn't come from those between modern day dems and gop. It's actually probably left of current dems. People want better salaries and health care. Oh and combating climate change. Court folks 18-35 and they'll crush them.
Sure, legacy exists but as a systems principal engineer I would always look to improve the platform. Puppet/chef/ansible all the problems those solved are kind of moot with a kubernetes ecosystem. The only thing they might be useful for would be installing the software to get those nodes added and maybe security updates in you're running 1k+ of bare metal. And something that could all be solved with something light like dancers shell. At home I've even just moved to k3 since the containerize is just so much more consistent. Ansible not maintaining state is also a massive headache.
Isn't all of these tools dying with k8s? Like the entire concept of installing a playform for your service is moot at this point. Plus there's like a million other benifits over bare metal configs.
