Most important reason is the ridiculous etcd limit of 8Gb. That alone is the reason for most k8s cluster splits.

I hate etcd probably more than most, but that 8Gb seems to just be a warning, unless you have information otherwise https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/dev-guide/limit/#storage-size-limi...

I'll take this opportunity to once again bitch and moan that Kubernetes just fucking refuses to allow the KV store to be pluggable, unlike damn near everything else in their world, because they think that's funny or something

It isn't a mere warning. It is strongly recommended as the upper limit.

And yes, I agree not allowing a pluggable replacement is really stupid.

Ah, yes, what would a Kubernetes-adjacent project be without a fucking stale bot to close issues willy nilly
