How are your applications deployed and managed? Kubernetes, Docker,
Ansible, Puppet, etc.?

Stuart, this is totally bespoke C++ Windows system, none of those :)
The file-discovery seems able to pull out my targets but I can't find
a good example how to structure my files. I suppose each Module A, B,
C, ... should be the jobs, but I'd far rather not have to list each of
my targets/servers once for every job when it's all the same.
Yes each module probably wants to be a separate job.
Multiple jobs can use the same YAML/JSON files with file_sd, so you
could create a single file (with just the hostnames/IPs) and then use
relabling to add the correct port number for each job.
