The smallest unit of scaling on Cloud Island is a VPS, and no I don't like that either.

Once v2.0 is finished, I'm gonna start digging into Nomad and see about a v3.0

@aurynn Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour OpenShift ;) - out of curiosity there are a couple of community charts and kubes crds but no full blown operator for mastodon.
@jwp I'm not going to deploy k8s or try to run k8s
@aurynn then don't. Use it as a Managed service and get on with the cool stuff of deploying into it. But going back to operators - mastadon's almost a perfect use case for one when I look at it. Back to the conversation yesterday - Operators basically give you 'App-store' experience of installing complex apps into kubes. Thinking about the first time I attempted to do Kafka vs now with the operator ...
@aurynn But also I can install OpenShift with the assisted installer quicker than I can install RHEL (with a reasonably fast internet connection) these days. It's quite a different experience than it was a few years ago and miles better than anything OOO/OpenStack ever managed from an infra deployment and management perspective.
