Mac Chaffee explains why teams building custom orchestration systems often create dangerous security vulnerabilities without realizing it. He discusses how both Kubernetes and security are deeper fields than they appear, making it easy to fall into the trap of "not knowing what you don't know."

Mac emphasizes that you can't stumble your way into building a secure orchestration system - it requires deep expertise in both domains. While acknowledging that Kubernetes isn't the most secure system and doesn't solve all security problems, he points out that security experts continuously embed their expertise into Kubernetes enhancement proposals. This collective knowledge represents years of hard-won security insights that would be unwise to ignore when building from scratch.
