The hidden cost of "just using Kubernetes"

Kubernetes has become the default foundation for a lot of modern application infrastructure. It’s powerful, flexible, and widely supported, which makes it an obvious starting point for many teams building a cloud-native application platform (a standardized way for teams to deploy, run, secure, and operate applications in production).

Imagine an engineering lead opening a pull request for a critical security patch and finding five hundred lines of AI-generated code. While the solution is (mostly) usable, it follows a pattern no one on the team recognizes. This shift away from manually writing every line of logic has introduced a unique level of complexity for teams.
