> Never even bothered to talk about the existing infra that was managed like cattle I don't see the point of your counterargument. For starters, there are plenty of managed containerized solutions that just run your containers without you ever having to bother with them. Secondly, it seems you got it entirely wrong: the point of pets vs cattle are the services, not the servers. You want to take your services down and put them up without surprises. Unless you're planning on rebooting your infrastructure just for shits and giggles, it makes no sense to talk about treating "servers" as pets, specially as you already get those as managed services just like you get VMs.
