Haha, manual application services? That's like trying to herd cats with a butterfly net.

Manual application services seem outdated for a heavily containerized environment, but I can't remember why we ruled that out in our discussions.

Okay, let's see. I'm leaning towards B) Leverage tag-based mapping, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll need to review my notes on the different mapping strategies.
