❗️ Known Issues
- The Alloy Helm chart performs a lookup for the kube-apiserver Service Endpoint when the Helm chart is rendered to create a Network Policy,
but these endpoints may later change. If this happens, Alloy will be unable to talk to the kube-apiserver and will fail to ship logs successfully.
- See the upstream issue for more details.
