Which is why GCP's decision last year [1] to encourage people to only use 1 cluster with GKE for all of your minor, internal, exploring, testing, side and hobby projects was so frustrating. For your main production load at work, paying management fees for many clusters is not that relevant costs. So not an issue with my clients' projects. But for my many hobby-projects, dev and few self-employed business workloads balancing them all on as few clusters as possible is a major pain. Before that I/you scaled it out to separation of concerns, maybe only grouping a few workloads. And then quite happily scrapping whole clusters all the time. Now any lifecycle issues with them affects lots of independent applications. They went from cattle to pets over night.
