I have always avoided its VS project extension. If you do only `guest executable`, it is super intuitive and you can simply create any kind of exe with any language/stack. The package can be created by a few lines of PowerShell scripts, which is much simpler and more stable than its VS extension.

Of course, the stateful service feature is lost. But k8s does not have that feature either.

Till now, I see its `guest executable` solution a good balance.
