We use Skaffold and it’s great. I’m talking about very minor unforeseen stuff that causes outages, not that we do it manually.

This is an interesting exchange if only for the thread developing instead of a single reply from a rep; it’s nice to see that level of engagement.

More importantly, this dialogue speaks volumes to Google’s stubbornness. Seth’s/Google’s position is: do it the Google way, sorry-not-sorry to all those that don’t fit into our model.

Like we haven’t heard of infrastructure as code? That can’t paper over basics like being unable to change your K8s cluster control plane. This is precisely the attitude that lands GCP as a distant #3 behind AWS and Azure.

Google stubbornly resists the idea that their platforms have actual users who depend on things not being broken for them constantly. It's cultural.

AWS has the complete opposite model.
