so perhaps design the product such that it is a few minimalist byte oriented protocols operating over a single link layer, rather than requiring 50 hops through the 57 layers of your k8s cluster?

I mean, content wise, as far as k8/debugging scenarios, thanks. But this is precisely why 'cloud' is wrong for some things. I shouldn't need engineering teams (multiple) 5 time zones away to be having meetings about improving their troubleshooting methodology to find out why the multinode distributed system responsible for the light in my toilet isn't working.
