@JakeSCahill Is it possible to somehow also link to this in Next Steps section of Overview? This seems like the most logical place to discover this if you were new to Redpanda K8s. I think one would first go to Overview, then go directly to installing on K8s if I were to follow what's being documented without following the nav bar.

Is it possible also to include a blurb about moving from Managed to Unmanaged Node images are also susceptible to downtime and thus its advisable to deploy with Unmanaged node upgrades for now?

Does "rules" need to be included in the link? Destination heading only has the name shown here.

The link goes to the definition of the default rules. The rules are defined in a config called podAntiAffinity.
