My experience with k8s has been very much “just”, and I’ve never really had issues or experienced any real friction with updates. shrugs

That's great. I guess I've somehow been making things harder than they need to be.

Looks like you were using k8s APIs directly in your applications, which is a more complex set-up.

In my experience, most k8s deployments are just "dumb" docker images, they're not very "k8s native".

Your use case may be more complex, which is why you have had more difficulty keeping things up-to-date.
