I know I am not an operator, but to respond on this particular point related to the Kolla question above, I think the team size could be very small and still effective. You would want 24 hour coverage of your data center, and a backup individual, which puts the IC list at 4 people. (3 8 hour shifts + 1 backup in case of illness/etc). Expect for these folks to require other work, as once Kolla is deployed there isn't a whole lot to do. A 64 node cluster is deployable by one individual in 1-2 hours once the gear has been racked. Realistically if you plan to deploy Kolla I'd expect that individual to want to train for 3-6 weeks deploying over and over to get a feel for the Kolla workflow. Try it, I suspect you will like it :) If you had less rigorous constraints around availability then I'd expect Godaddy to have, a Kolla deployment could likely be managed with as little as half a person or less. Everything including upgrades is automated.
