Only to the extent that cost is a function of complexity. This isn't always the case. In a case like this, going to bare metal likely brings with it significant drawbacks in organizational complexity, orchestrational complexity, and more while allowing for much better utilization of memory and cpu resources.
Telling someone whose car is making some funny noises that it's simpler to go back to horse-and-buggy times would both increase costs and decrease the number of user-servicable moving parts. There's some significant overhead attached.
- xorcist 5y agoBare metal has nothing to do with this. It isn't even touched upon in the article. It discusses a scheduler, and the parent post suggests exempting these kind of jobs from the scheduler in question, which they obviously aren't a very good product fit for. Should you wish to really stretch that car analogy, maybe a bit more appropriate than a horse would be: If you aren't happy with your travel agency aren't booking your taxi trips in time, try booking with the taxi company directly.
