What is the threshold number of computers past which using this stuff is worth the tradeoff in complexity?

  This is something we face in our environment. The OSes are pretty homogenous, but the application set is very diverse; 16 of these, 2 of these, 8 of those, and so on. It's made previous orchestration tools a bit more unwieldy, but of course manual control is unwieldy as well! In addition, of course, the task of learning, implementing, and evaluating the options take a large amount of time on top of the time we already spend (mostly) manually maintaining infrastructure. Articles like this are a great stepping stone.

  I deploy a pretty small app with like 2 instances per deploy and 3 deploys (beta and 2 production versions for different clients) and Kubernetes is 100% worth it for the rolling updates and the ability to build the image once and push it different places.
