Ugh, what kind of opinion is this? He neglected to mention all the drawbacks:
* It takes forever for Dell or HP to ship your stuff.
* Your co-lo can physically ran out of space.
* Your predecessor will inevitable have tons of one-off unversioned changes in prod.
* Repetitive manual work when scaling multi DCs.
* Making unscalable database choices (non-master-master) because you are not in the cloud mindset.
* Don't worry about CDN? AWS S3 comes with CDN automatically.
* Too many more bullet points to mention.
- freehunter 7y ago>Your co-lo can physically ran out of space The number of times I've run into this at clients is ridiculous. Either there isn't enough space in the rack, or they're out of network switch ports, even down to being out of SFPs or network cables themselves. I've even seen clients run out of power... as in, they couldn't add one of our servers to the data center because the UPS and power delivery systems could not safely handle the load of one more server. Running a datacenter is a lot harder and more costly than most people think.
