Once your team has upgrades down, everything is pretty rote. This submission (Urbit, lol) seemed particularly incompetent at managing cert rotation.

The other capital lesson here? Have backups. The team couldnt restore a bunch of their services effectively, cause they didn't have the manifests. Sure, a managed provider may have less disruptions/avoid some fuckups, but the whole point of Kubernetes is Promise Theory, is Desired State Mamagememt. If you can re-state your asks, put the manifests back, most shit should just work again, easy as that. The team had seemingly no operational system so their whole cluster was a vast special pet. They fucked up. Don't do that.
