I see a lot of people disagreeing with the overall direction of "less servers, more services". I totally get it, I used to be one of those people, but I think the shift to "less hassle development" is inevitable.
5 years ago people used to debate whether we should use a virtualized server vs. a physical one. You still can see similar discussions but rarely - we all have more or less agreed that using AWS/Rackspace/etc. is good for a business in majority of use cases.
I think 5 years from now we'll still be debating servers vs. services, but the prevailing wisdom will be that "services" have won.
- alexro 11y agoIt may well be so that companies will run their private clouds on the colocated servers. What wins in that case?
- raspasov 11y agoMaybe for some companies/use cases, however my feeling is that the setup time and dealing with hardware directly will always be too much hassle for the majority.
- alexro 11y agoExcept they will deal with hardware anyway - there are about several thousand different devices in our offices. How difficult is it to get another 2 admins - and two could be enough in the modern world of everything automated.
