Hi all - Friday question - Given that Flink’s native Kubernetes integration already allows you to directly deploy Flink applications on a running Kubernetes(k8s) cluster is it actual worth the effort to use the Apache Flink Kubernetes operator?

I think the question should be vice versa .. why use the native kubernetes integration when there is an operator out there with so much added functionality provided out of the box to help make operations easier?

Thank you for your response Giannis.
