That's a very good argument against the modern framework-conatiners-k8s stack. We used to be able to keep an organization wide track of things such as tcp services, buffer sizes, timeouts etc. but now it's all a black box deployed by a guy who cut and paste some yaml from a Medium article, at best.

It's probably acceptable to not learn the details of what you're doing, as hardware is cheap and all that, but it also constitutes a glass ceiling for how much the organization learns. That's a bigger problem in the long run.

Hopefully any organization that decides to use k8s goes into it understanding what they're getting into, but yes if you just get onto the hype train without thinking, you'll probably have a bad time when scaling.
