> But truth be told, not having to deal with servers at all is magical. And if your team is used to it, it does cut down on a lot of worry such as patching stuff. Spectre or Meltdown patches? Ha, zero effort for us. The problem with this (which applies to "cloud" infrastructure) is that, ultimately, it's somebody else's server. You may not "worry" about something like low-level security patches, but that also means you have no control or even visibility into them. It doesn't mean you're not subject to the consequences. Of course, there's always something magical about any form of outsourcing when it works realy well. I'm not sure this form has enough of a track record to be blindly trusted, however.
