@ji6 I have to tell you, we are using Kubernetes since the very early versions available.

If you automate everything you will never have an issue with K8, you can deploy all the required dependencies in one go. You can run the tests, if done correctly this literally requires 10 minutes.

This argument to have an LTS Version for me is like air. It's the kind of Nuclear Reactor argument. We did have the money to buy Uranium to burn but now we can't afford to dispose it normally.

Kubernetes is for flexibility not for big companies which want to use their software development processes of the 90's...

I'm sorry, this is simply not true. K8s relatively often introduces breaking changes. They are announced well in advance, which is very nice, but the solution will not take 10 minutes. Take Pod Security Policies and migration to Kyverno of OPA Gatekeeper. Even if you have a relatively simple cluster and choose to stick to defaults rather than write your own rules, it will still take time to understand the new system, to choose the policies you need, to update and test it. In complex cluster this takes weeks and in some cases even months, especially if you are legally obliged to follow change management.

Yeah? Through the RBAC changes? Because thats where I gave up

I love the concept of nuclear power as an analogy for this type of technical debt! Very insightful.
