I don't see how it's satirical. If you need a job to run, you need to handle the case of transient node failures. K8S helps alleviate this issue by allowing the job to be launched on any of a choice of nodes. Sure, cron is fine if you're just looking to rotate logs on the local machine, but if you want to reset your nuclear watchdog timer, you may want something more reliable :)

If you need a job to run, you need to handle the case of governments turning against you. A huge nuclear capable military and a top notch spy agency helps alleviate this issue by allowing missiles to be launched on any belligerent nations.
I best add a nuclear capable military to the 2023 budget. I know we need to look after every penny, however, the increased reliability is surely worth it.
Just use AWS MAD.
I'm sensing a need for a blockchain here.
These replies made my day. Thanks guys.
