> Can you make your on prem infrastructure go down less than Amazon's?
Over the last two years, my track record has destroyed AWS. I've got a single Mac Mini with two VMs on it, plugged in to a UPS with enough power to keep it running for about three hours. It's never had a second of unplanned downtime.
About 15 years ago I got sick of maintaining my own stuff. I stopped building Linux desktops and bought an Apple laptop. I moved my email, calendars, contacts, chat, photos, etc, to Google. But lately I've swung 180 degrees and have been undoing all those decisions. It's not as much of a PITA as I remember. Maybe I'm better at it now? Or maybe it will become a PITA and I'll swing right back.
EDIT: I realize you're talking in a commercial sense and I'm talking about a homelab sense. Still, take my anecdote for what it's worth. :D
