Docker containers can be launched directly in any number or size to Joyent, and Distelli will app-ify and&amp;#x2F;or dockerize your app as part of the CI&amp;#x2F;CD workflow and watch the processes.&lt;p&gt;Any custom script is just bash, and I can deploy to any OS.&lt;p&gt;I have a cluster of 5 or 6 instances running 20-30 services in this setup and it&amp;#x27;s been a dream.  I tried to do something similar before, but Cloud66 dropped Joyent.  It makes perfect sense because apps can be anywhere between traditionally deployed to fully containerized and still are managed with the same interface and config.&lt;p&gt;Since it&amp;#x27;s all open-source my deploy process is portable.  But I&amp;#x27;ve evaluated other vendors and processes and all seem more manual and less transparent.</text></comment>

The majority of applications are pets (i.e. stateful) and many applications run on Windows or have some other kernel requirements that mismatch the baremetal kubelet.&lt;p&gt;If you think Kubernetes &amp;#x27;absolutely takes over the more complex cloud installations&amp;#x27;, you&amp;#x27;re living in an echo chamber of 12 factor apps that doesn&amp;#x27;t line up with the majority of what I&amp;#x27;ve seen in big enterprise cloud workloads.&lt;p&gt;Case in point: Walmart has one of the largest openstack deployments in the world.</text></comment>
