Hot Take:

Google Cloud just had a "whoopsie-daisy" moment that could have turned into a full-blown "Oh, no!" Thankfully, they patched a vulnerability that had the potential to turn a mischievous actor into a full-blown villain in a Kubernetes cluster. But let's face it, the attacker would need to have already compromised a Fluent Bit container, so we're talking about a villain with a plan, not just some random script-kiddie.
