	I don't know about McDonald's but these days a lot of really big
systems run as a large (and variable) number of micro-services in
containers under Kubernetes. Scalability is the watchword today. Sometimes
they run on Z/OS machines (usually running Linux) otherwise they run on a
mix of blade servers (CPU and RAM tightly packed) and SAN storage (lots of
NVMe SSDs) connected with 40Gb or 100Gb ethernet. Infrastructure as a
service they call it.
