I make technology do boring and interesting things! Software dev, sysadmin, cloud, and other beep boop type things
Plus, one nice thing about Occam's Razor is that you can absolutely ignore Occam's Razor. It's not a law. There's no Philosophy police who will send you to Logic Jail.
Pick the more complex-but-equal option has a little philosophical treat for yourself!

Relatedly, I also discovered today that OpenSearch will make shards and indices on a node read-only if the node running OpenSearch crosses a flood-stage mark of disk usage. The default trigger is 95% disk utilization, but something to keep an eye on in the future.
