There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15 containers and people not wanting to turn the post into a container measuring contest.

But now I am curious, what are your counts? I would guess those of you running k*s would win out by pod scaling

docker ps | wc -l

For those wanting a quick count.

    @slazer2au Application containers: 30-40
    System containers (including kube, Istio, CNI, etc): ~20

    Shifting from Istio sidecar mode to Istio ambient mode made a big difference.
