Man, I didn't realize 500 servers was still "little company" level!

That surfaces a very important communication problem. If you consider 500 servers a "small datacenter", then, of course, you will say that K8S adds value to small operations.

Marginal cost for servers is very small, and with containers, etc, they multiply like bunnies.

Many of our devs are running 8-15 VMs just for their dev work. Depending on what you do and how, it’s easy to hockey stick the count!
