I've been telling friends and co-workers I think kubernetes has won the orchestration war. But even as I did so I wanted something simpler for my own purposes, and so was using fleet.

Luckily for me, I'd stuck with making all my units global and driving their deployment off of metadata. I think I'll just strip off the [X-fleet] section, and start deploying them straight to systemd with ansible.

This is roughly what we're doing. Ansible to manage specific containers on hosts. It works quite well, and with some IP tables shenanigans we have a lot of power over how we roll new containers out.
Ansible brings inventory management to the table. I can have an inventory with my backend and frontend instances tagged, run my playbook, and it will copy/start the appropriate systemd units.
