Besides just giving you a warm fuzzy feeling of running only one server.
What is the point of running one server?
Do you also object to them running in the cloud in VMs and not on physical hardware that they own? Sounds like an old man's "kids these days" rant..
- betaby 6y agoNetflix in fact 'run on servers' https://papers.freebsd.org/2019/fosdem/looney-netflix_and_freebsd/ https://papers.freebsd.org/2019/fosdem/looney-netflix_and_fr...
- dmingod666 6y agoOfcourse, everything runs on servers. Question is, who owns and maintains the hardware. The link you shared just says they manage their OS layer, ofcourse they do. Everyone running on AWS VMs is responsible for their own OS layer. Wether they want precise control over their OS doesn't change their preference for who owns and manages the hardware..
- betaby 6y agoWell, in case of Netflix - Netflix run the servers - from hardware to the custom FreeBSD build as the explained in multiple talks.
