A friend thinks you can answer this question about Container Strategy
You're the new VP Engineering at a 150-person SaaS company. The previous CTO adopted Kubernetes (self-managed on EC2) two years ago when the company had 8 engineers. The cluster runs 18 microservices, you have 1 dedicated 'DevOps engineer' constantly firefighting cluster issues, and the engineering team is frustrated that simple deploys take days because of Kubernetes complexity. Cluster bills are $14K/month (heavily over-provisioned). Velocity is your biggest bottleneck.
