I've operated on-prem and colo physical data centers. I've also been part of larger companies where someone else deploys baremetal on my behalf. I've been running infrastructure on top of AWS off-and-on since 2008. I've done a live migration of one of the largest Internet sites from AWS to baremetal in data centers. I feel pretty good about keeping our infrastructure in AWS for the foreseeable future.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoI apologize; I didn't read that part of your bio on the site. Your post seemed to indicate that you hadn't done any calculations for the bare metal server with your own vms scenario. But clearly you have, if only mentally.
- rbranson 10y agoNo worries! I'm not super into self-promotion, but I do think my background is relevant in this case. Either way, the decisions that go into a strategy like this involve a mountain of variables.
