- debaserab2 6y agoOne FTE that does on-call system engineering is wayyyy more expensive than a fleet of 20 vm's. Not to mention the cost of hardware itself. I know there's a threshold where the cost benefit works in favor of on prem, but it's nowhere near most 20 node k8s clusters.

- debaserab2 6y agoYou're not really out of the weeds when it comes to dedicated servers either. You still need an on call resource to manage the software in that scenario.
