We are well into the reeds of what doesn’t matter, only in that fly has given us a very under the covers look at their implementation that is hard to find with other alternatives. But as someone who has run K8s in other contexts I find the following to be pretty circumspect (not in a way that causes me concern, I’m a happy gke user) > GKE Autopilot manages the entire underlying infrastructure of clusters, including the control plane, nodes, and all system components. If you use GKE Standard mode, GKE manages the control plane and system components, and you manage the nodes. There is a mile of implementation detail in that. Which I’m happy for them to keep on their side of the street. |

100% agreement
iirc, there was a time where I thought they were doing some consolidation things with how they run the control plane, then at some point my cluster updates had a warning related to control plane unavailability during an update, this was on a single node cluster
I get what you are saying though, there's probably some magic going on somewhere, but after many years on GKE, I don't really think about it.
