This is garbage path compared to controlled quantity. In 2008 no one would have countenanced this for good reason. What is the reason now?

lol. have you ever done an update with breaking api changes and cluster global exposures/rbac for helm charts? It's like switching out the bolts in a running engine.

That is because the pressure on defense to adopt an approach and technologies that 'work' in commercial space has become dogma. Agile is a disease that fuels recipe approaches.

Recently worked with a team doing edge architecture and design that has had at least 5 iterations of k8s design and vendors. Why is that? What was the solution?

My opinion at the end (even though I love cloud managed k8s for commodity/insecure in the commercial space) is not to use k8s for edge and secure. Stop pretending. It's a mess and it won't get better.
