That's fair, your response seems reasonable, and Canonical has done an excellent amount of this. Setting up kubernetes is hard, but should be surmountable by anyone wanting to seriously use it. Fixing it when it breaks, or figuring out how to run apps when there are issues is what is hard. Perhaps I rely too much on core engineers to fix those issues when it happens and discounted the value add proposition of Canonical on this.

Thanks for the excellent response!
