There is meta-data on those entities that would be very useful to be incorporated into a log record. I understand DQL allows for joins and similar functions post processing, but this increases the complexity of DQL, inhibits adoption, and increases query expenses.

I was informed that Native K8s starts rolling out today with Agent 1.305. This should retain a lot of metadata that Fluent-bit tends to strip out and provide better integration with other components in Dynatrace. Our SE's did a test within their environment and their finding was that it did in fact provide that metadata (i.e. process.technology, pod info, etc) that our pipeline are set up to use. Once out, we plan on migrate within a few days on our lower environments. I can report back or you can reach out if you want to know what the results are.
Also, in 1.305 SaaS release notes there was some breaking changes regarding how logs are handled in AWS. We haven't started migrating our AWS logs from our current solution so I can't not speak to that personally.

Hopefully, this helps.
