I didn’t say neither, but I know why they exist. Basically, I said these (containers, binpacking, load-balancing, proxying, name spacing, isolation, etc) are all realizations and solutions to problems that one needs to solve when autonomically managing any distributed system that is being shared among multiple distributed applications, each using their own deployment model. You don’t need to use k8s. But if you want scalability and manageability, you have to solve the same kind of problems it tries to solve, because ultimately resources aren’t infinite. Of course, this will always depend on the size of your (multiple) service(s).
