My larger point is basically just against dogma and “best practices”. Every decision has tradeoffs and is highly dependent on the larger organizational context.

My larger point is basically just against dogma and “best practices”. Every decision has tradeoffs and is highly dependent on the larger organizational context. For example, kubectl rollout assumes that your service is already packaged as a container, you are already running a k8s cluster and the team knows how to use it. In that context, maybe your method is a lot better. But in another context where k8s is not adopted and the ops team is skilled at linux admin but not at k8s, my way might be better. There’s no one true way and there never will be. Technical decisions cannot be made in a vacuum.
