alternatively in 15 years there will be less than 0.01% workloads that a mainstream 2-way Epyc XXXX Server with 512 physical cores 64TB RAM and 10,000,000 IOPS will not handle so 90% of cloud services will become meaningless :).
- Terretta 7y ago> 90% of cloud services will become meaningless As will that Epyc XXXX server, absent a well-peered and hardened services mesh for it to plug into. Cloud shouldn’t be used for just someone else’s computer. It’s not the compute or the storage, it’s the network.
- qaq 7y agoThats cloud ad copy :) >90% of cloud services are there to deal with workloads that need to span machine boundaries. The only thing you need for that Epyc XXXX server(s) is decent colo service + cloudflare. Cloud is the new mainframe and with things being cyclical might repeat it's fate to a degree.
- cthalupa 7y agoPeople said this about computers 15 years ago, too. We've shown a remarkable ability to keep increasing the computational requirements foo the shit we run on computers to keep up with the computers themselves.
- FpUser 7y agoDo not worry. Someone will promptly write an interpreter of Lisp in Python running on VM written in JavaScript.
