Lightweight Kubernetes distribution running in HA mode across the three control plane nodes, pinned at v1.35.5-k3s1 in both compared image tags.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
A nine-hour Istio Ambient debugging session ended with an agent recommending its own retirement. The edits were fine. The verification step is where the loop ran out of hypotheses it could see.
Reality
A four-core ARM box thrashed its page cache for hours while Kubernetes reported Running, ArgoCD reported Synced and Healthy, Helm exited zero and an admission policy passed.
Reality
A four-core box nearly went down at a load average of 38.7. The ordering of the three load figures, plus two lines from /proc/pressure, dated the incident twenty hours before anyone opened a log.
Reality
A homelab k3s build put embedded etcd on microSD cards and USB Ethernet. The reported latency numbers point at I/O contention, not the consensus timeouts the write-up blames.
Reality
A CNCF blog account reports a self-upgrading K3s control plane on Kairos with etcd quorum intact. The instructive part is that both bugs were in the automation, not the OS.
