Only 27 containers? That rookie numbers... You gotta pump those up!
I'm currently sitting at 131 containers across 3 Kubernetes nodes, all bare-metal though, no virtualization.
131 containers seems crazy to me. How many actual services does that translate to? Is it actually closer to 50 services running in parallel on three different nodes for redundancy?
There's probably also a fair amount of repeated servers that aren't redundant. Like postgres servers that are single purpose and multiple containers to provide it for an "actual" service.
