How are you going to manage thousands of machine across the globe, and deploy your application quickly to them in a zero down time manner?

Hard same. There were some projects I was working on at my last job where I was running a containerized software product for like four different district court units. Even that was getting unwieldy before we made the move to OpenShift. That allowed us to just let K8s deal with the nitty gritty for us.
