Designing appropriate cloud services for tech that can be ours ('ourtech') I'm learning how the scale of the operation (how many people using the tech in more or less intense ways) determines the apropriate deployment architecture. And that is key for long term sustainability.

Although technically this is above my head, I do want to get a basic understanding for the high level choices here. Basically I see various collectives use these strategies: 1) docker+ansible deployment, 2) docker+swarm+abra+ deployment (@coopcloud) or 3) kubernetes deployment.

Of course many variations and other scripting exist, but may be beyond the discussion here.
