These are just my anecdotes, for sure, but (also anecdotal) I rarely hear of other "ops" type people using Chef, and most of the ones I know never got more than just their feet wet with Chef (the SaltStack beta was out early enough to avoid Chef).

In my experience - you see all three of these, k8s, TF and chef working in the same cluster. But, I'm only an anecdote of n=2.
The extreme unlikelihood of finding the drive in a salvageable condition combined with the near certainty of polluting the local community makes it a pretty clear decision to me.
Run at a reasonable rate - should be relative straightforward for a team to pick through the garbage, particularly because it's metal.

They did the same thing to me a second time with the bluetooth connection to the apartment complex - and were very passive aggressive about let me know how to activate the application. Initially told me I had "a problem with email" if I hadn't properly read their single random-sourced mention of a new app I needed to install on my phone a couple weeks earlier that I had instantly dropped into a spam bucket as obvious phishing.
I really hate corporate apartment management.
I can see "PartySquasher" type technology becoming a feature in w/corporate controlled apartments. Mine is particularly intrusive (Park Place, San Mateo) - in that they also have all the doors digitalized as well as the entry into mailroom/complex via Bluetooth authentication. Just to make sure you have to digitally log in to your apartment - they also lock you in 120 seconds after entering, so you can't just leave your door unlocked.
You just know that this is absolutely the future of housing once private equity starts to dominate the corporate landlord space.
