So I'm heading a shop with some serious legacy deployment woes. I've got plans for everything but scaling. Now, we're likely to hire out Ops eventually, but for now I'd like to learn devops (backend eng currently) and cut my teeth by getting the ball rolling on a slightly more robust setup.
With that said, what do you recommend? We're a small shop, and our auto scaling needs a very very minimal. We're non-public facing, so our user base is pretty predictable. Yet, I'd like to migrate us to a more modern and mature system. Naturally I was looking towards K8s because of the overwhelming support I see for K8s on HN/etc, but your comment makes me question that.
Honestly, it's the vast options that really screw with my head. There are just so many tools. And where they lack is not immediately evident from the outside. It's difficult to pick a direction. At the moment I'm reviewing Nomad, as it sounds interesting to work with our existing by-hand infrastructure.
