Life sure would be easier if "cloud native" meant IPv6-only (except the load balancer) with non-overlapping unique addresses everywhere. 10/8 doesn't go far if you give each VM a /24 and each k8s cluster a /16.

What network are you running where you're giving each virtual machine a /24? That's insane.

10/8 should go very far if you do it correctly, hence why it's in use in almost all internal networks.

kubernetes, because for what ever reasons people are suspicious of using DHCP provided by the VPC.

Where have you experienced shortages? Even with a /16, you are talking about millions of unique IPs.

A /16 has ~65k unique IPs.
