Not sure why you would throw Ansible into your pod. Someone has to build your docker images Jenkins, Kafka and Grafana + Prometheus. I also like Kubernetes but i don't think Kubernetes is necessary for small controlled environments. Ansible just works with help of galaxy. I set up Jenkins, Kafka, Grafana + Prometheus faster with ansible than with kubernetes with more/easier control, specificly when i take care of stuff inside those services which are not yet thought of in the docker container. Also the scaling thing, small companies just don't need. There is a level of complexity to kubernetes.
