Big respect for your achievements. I guess at some point it just becomes the question of "where do i get a 1000 nodes" vs. "how do I run a 1000 containers". Or, more the justification for that amount of hardware - I mean, the one dream job which I would probably want is getting paid to cut out all the hardware use while keeping reliability/availability/functionality. Like these guys who cut their AWS bill by $1mil/year in about 3 months - https://segment.com/blog/the-million-dollar-eng-problem/. The thing is that I'm not exactly sure where I'd fit in more - running this thing, or just fixing it for somebody else. I definitely know that I'm mostly dealing with pets and not cattle :)
