## What Jamie wrote

This is a known thing now, yes you need to have a team that owns this part of your technology stack. The TL;DR version could simply be: "Kubernetes is complicated, why would you make everyone learn it." The hard part to me is knowing how far that platform function should go **vertically**. Yes, have one team that manages it like a product. That is horizontal. But what features and functions vertically should they defer to the infrastructure below, and the applications above.
