It’s also very much a reduction of what some of these technologies are capable of. For instance, I’ve used Netmaker somewhat extensively as a VPN solution, and I mostly agree with the sentiments that the original article expresses about Netmaker (young, unstable). However, that is not the most interesting use case that Netmaker offers at all. Rather, a much more interesting use case is something like having an easy and straightforward way for Kube pods in AWS and GCP spanning across multiple regions to talk to each other. Multi-cloud architectures are greatly simplified by these kinds of technologies, especially Netmaker, partly because of their abilities to punch through NATs. Also, Netmaker is kernel level WireGuard which is much more performant. If you’re just using Tailscale to talk to clusters from your MacBook, for instance, userland WireGuard is probably going to be more than enough. When you need servers to talk to each other, though, you usually need the extra perf
