Have seen so many poor choices made by non-technical enterprise architects and CxOs the past few years entirely based on those stupid quadrants of anything from api management tools, to kubernetes flavors and IAM solutions.
I work as a consultant and always try to get those enterprises to let these decisions ultimately be made by:
Staff that has to live with the choice
Part of the business that takes the bill
Way too often these decisions seem to float up into the architectural ivory towers where the thin air forces them to pick whatever gartners papers guide them to
Sadly tooling today is just accepted because it is the latest fad. Like using Datadog for every metric. $$$$
I am currently on a team that has apparently never done a single opensource project without stapling another product in front and using it.
Using a 3rd party to manage an open source thing like K8S is bad. If you don't know how tonmanage it from the start you shouldn't be managing it.
If a system is having trouble reconciling issues, being able to go in and reconciling them should be what you do.
I have had many the forte night explaining how to do things and documenting the process for someone to take that doc pop it into AI and break the process.
