When you deploy stuff for a living, you find yourself waiting around, a lot.  Wait for Terraform to spin up the AWS VPCs.  Wait for the Kubernetes cluster node VMs to boot.  Wait for the Kubernetes cluster to coalesce.  Wait for the CNI pods, DNS pods, and kube-proxy bits to be happy.  Wait, wait, wait.

kubectl feels your pain there, and has some nifty ways of helping you wait (or not!) for the things you deploy or delete to coalesce.
