Kubernetes is a red flag signalling premature optimisation

So much for theory.

I just came out of a project where Kubernetes performance issues involved wild guess and blind tuning until the so called experts actually found out why the cloud cluster was behaving strangely, including support from Cloud vendor.

And good luck making sense of all the YAML spaghetti available for bootstrapping the whole cluster from scratch.

72 hours? They better be 10x DevOps team.

This is our world right now. A kubernetes cronjob sometimes fails and we have no idea why.

If your devops guys are struggling, you are hiring the wrong devops folks, or at the wrong end of the pay band. Most devops guys I know are paid in the same band as a senior developer.

Sure, it is like bug free C code. It is only a matter of having the top of the cream. Pity there aren't enough of them in the world, including on cloud vendor support team.
