I learned k8s the hard way so I am not sure I can point those out. That mindset of not doing anything directly comes from understanding that you are not setting up pods up, but rather, you are setting automated processes up. These processes knows what the desired state is, and if there is something that changes things, it takes actions to get back to that desired state. So you don’t create pods. You create deployments that maintain a set of pods. You don’t assign pods to nodes. You define pod affinities, and use node selectors on nodegroups. You use pod priority. You make graceful startups and shutdowns work correctly. And so forth.
