actually, replace you ai agents will. but if it helps you feel better, think of them as just tools to help you do your job. same the outcome, but happier you will be for a few months.

so much dark side. thank the force for cloud native yoda.

And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Prometheus and Grafana, we mutually pledge to each other our logs, our metrics, and our sacred uptime.

Deploy or deploy not, there is no try.

MAY THE FOURTH (OF JULY) BE WITH YOU!

That these services are, and of right ought to be, free and loosely coupled; that they are absolved from all allegiance to monolithic and proprietary solutions; and that all connection between them and legacy systems is and ought to be totally dissolved.

We, therefore, the representatives of the united microservices of Cloud Native, in General Assembly, appealing to the SREs of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by authority of the good people of this ecosystem, solemnly publish and declare:

* It has dissolved network connections repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness the http requests of the people.
* For cutting-edge features, it has declared feature flags, and toggled them without warning.

* It has forbidden Nodes to upgrade, unless suspended in their operation by a Cordon and appropriate Taint applied.
* It has erected a multitude of YAML files, & sent hither swarms of Helm charts to harass our junior Engineers.
* It has kept among us, in times of peace, sidecars without our consent.

The history of the present Kubernetes is a history of repeated injuries & usurpations.

Let Facts be submitted to a candid world:
* It has refused to autoscale, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

But when a long train of outages, memory leaks, and license audits, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute vendor lock-in, it is their duty to throw off such tooling, and to provide new guards for their future deployments.

Prudence indeed will dictate that legacy systems long established should not be changed for light & transient causes; accordingly all experience hath shewn that engineers are more disposed to suffer, while bugs are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing code to which they are accustomed.
