To bolster you point even further: take something like air-traffic control. Operators are so in tuned with the incoming data that they intuitively make 3D maps in their head, while requiring 2D data for quick observation, comprehension, and

For SMBs and smaller dev shops kicking off their forays into container development, not to mention customer deployments, the simplified cost models make it more management friendly and more understandable to non-IT actors. Whether it is abs

Totally fair points, and vendor lock-in is something to be highly vigilant of. For some context, though: the ingress functionality is rather recent in Kubernetes and is still fleshing out in terms of demands in the market and across cloud p
