it was an interesting proof of concept, but finding the right people to maintain the infra with both IT and Scuba skills was a narrow niche to nail down ;)
- potemkinhr 6y agoI don't opening it at any point before decomissioning it completely is even an afterthought with that. They just write off any failures and roll with it as long as it's viable.
- reasonabl_human 6y agoYeah that was one of the show-stopping issues, inability to repair / hotswap etc...
- namibj 6y agoWell, you only need to get shared infrastructure reliable enough that you can afford to not design it with repair in mind. The cloud servers are already design without unit-level maintenance work in mind, which saves money by eliminating rails and similar. They get populated racks from the factory and just cart them from the dock to their place, plug them in (maybe run some self-test to make sure there are no loose connectors or so), and eventually decommission them after some years.
