agreed. The newer "Pet Set" construct in k8s might simplify this quite a bit:

Or as it's been renamed last month to: "StatefulSet" https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/35534

Mostly what I was commenting on was how they are building some type of declarative infrastructure where they define the topology they want and then system will build it. This was screaming k8s to me.
