this seems interesting. I have to say I have heard a lot of people talking about kubernetes but few actually using it in production. for your CI woes there is a system that isn't hard to setup and is actually really easy to use: Mesos and Marathon with weave (without the plugin, for now) and docker. Your biggest challenge is learning zookeeper, but really if you're dealing with large scale deployments, you're probably already using it or something like it. there are puppet/chef/ansible modules for installing and configuring mesos and zookeeper. toss in gluster as a storage driver in docker and you're pretty much ready to go for most types of application deployments using docker. heck, there's even kubernetes integration if you're really hung up on it ;)
