Exactly. Sure, my cousin Earl can spin up a container and some VMs. Will they be secure? Probably not. Will they be backed up and offsite failover? Probably not

There is no need to make blanket statements about on-prem vs. cloud. You have to weigh the pros and cons as any other business decision.
It’s about controlling you’re own destiny with either decision.
- paulryanrogers 6y agoNot trying to make blanket statements. I'm actually a fan of on prem when load and reliability needs fit.

We hand an outage when a router died. Surprisingly a bare metal FreeBSD server directly connected to the public network was still up when the VMs were unacessible.
