Somewhat off-topic.. I really wish the Kubernetes setup guides would also have a paragraph about why you would choose each option, rather than just listing how to install them.

The CNI guide[0] is especially awful here. It contains 9 (!) different options, some of which are combinations of others, with no explanation at all of how they differ. As it turns out, there is a separate page with descriptions[1], but there is no linking between the two pages, and it's in a completely different section.

There's an "Edit this Page" button at the bottom of each of those documentation pages. We appreciate pull requests with improvements!
I don’t disagree but that’s somewhat out of scope for Kubernetes I’d argue. The benefits or costs are varied and not simply explained. It’s probably best to just differ the docs for each runtime and have them explain it instead.
yeah getting into devops stuff from the outside is still very challenging. the official docs are always very working professional oriented
