> SMB can be anywhere up to 1000 employees, 500 employees and under 1 billion euro of turnover in case of EU's SME definition

By no-ones metric is 1000 employees a small business. The EU defines a small business as under 50 staff, and a medium business as under 250 staff.

SMB is not "small business". It's "Small and MEDIUM Business". And even larger business is often supported by smaller subcontractors.

In this area, k8s had been personal saviour where we could not take on a project otherwise. Just thinking of dealing with ~70 applications that had subtly different requirements leaves me shuddering. And that was pretty small deal.
