This is an excellent point, thank you for bringing this up. I think I've largely decided that the modernization of our control plane deployment should be our next priority effort. During the infra meeting there didn't seem to be any disagreement on that front. Now would be a good time to raise concerns if there are more pressing items we should be addressing, but I think I'm personally operating under the assumption this is it unless others speak up. Because David is right, this will only get worse as time goes on and we need to address it. The process I've proposed for actually making progress on this front is to update the existing specs for ansibilifying the control plane and performing a puppet upgrade, and Monty has volunteered to write a new spec to cover how we might containerize the control plane. Paul has volunteered to update the ansible spec and we need a volunteer to update the puppet spec (and maybe if we don't get a volunteer for that that itself is important information?). This way we can consider the options available to us side by side before making a major decision like this. Hopefully we can get that done by next week and we can start to do some serious review of the options here.
