> How do you figure that deploying 5 services vs 100 is the same cost? By using generalizable deployment configuration tools - ansible, chef puppet perhaps?. The configuration complexity would probably depend a lot on what exactly those services do. For example - if they are all tomcat containers - with standard integration endpoints then there would be diminishing cost associated with each additional node/service deployment.
