- Elastic scale when demand spikes
- Rock-solid managed services
- A massive ecosystem of tooling

But here’s the other reality 👇
- Single-region dependencies that quietly multiply
- Control-plane hiccups cascading across services
- DNS/endpoint issues that look like “random” timeouts

Building hundreds that don’t crash at 2 AM, that’s DevOps magic

- Orphaned volumes and zombie containers
- Flaky networking between microservices
- Debugging distributed logs that feel like hide-and-seek

So yes, Kubernetes is brilliant.
But scaling it? That’s art.

Because building one pod is easy.

It’s daily life.

Most DevOps teams adopt containers and orchestration for good reasons:
✅ Automated scaling
✅ Declarative configuration
✅ Portable workloads
✅ Immutable deployments

But the other side of the story is real too
- Silent pod crashes nobody sees

Nvidia now finances your model’s future.

Expect compute access to follow equity.

Align your stack with CUDA, NIM, and cuDNN.

Move this quarter, before allocation windows close.
