Here is a relevant quote from Jess' blog:
> Hyperscalers like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have what I like to call “infrastructure privilege” since they long ago decided they could build their own hardware and software to fulfill their needs better than commodity vendors. We are working to bring that same infrastructure privilege to everyone else. [0]
Is this same infrastructure privilege an effective, internal cloud? From my experience with large internal cloud platforms, the problems are almost always organizational ones.
Regardless, I am definitely hoping that Oxide can provide a better experience. Maybe with centralizing all hardware into a single group, rather than have network folks do switches, another team do servers, and a totally separate group to do ACL's, etc. you could improve the experience of managing an entire datacenter.

The first, on open-source firmware, even appears to be freely available: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3349301 https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3349301 So that may help get the necessary context for this company launch.
