    I’m concerned that your preferred solutions may ignore the needs of working with peers. When I’ve worked with similar solutions before, we had a lot of on call, and it all went to the same person, regardless of who actually answered the phone.

Teaching a team the basics of Linux sysadmin will be incredibly useful for their careers, and it’s something that the whole team can easily learn. Then you don’t need to hire a k8s team – any engineer can do some basic debugging when things go sideways.
