Can anyone explain Oxide's product beyond the (fairly terrible IMHO) site? Seems like some kind of prepackaged VMware-alike including rack + hardware + networking fused into a single uncustomizable product?
What is the intended application?

- outsb 5y agoThanks. It seems extremely reminiscent of e.g. the Cobalt RaQ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_RaQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_RaQ ), but maybe "AWS Outposts for the rest of us" might be a more suitable contemporary parallel

- stonogo 5y agoOut of that tirade, you chose that to take exception to? Are we meant to interpret this as validation of the rest of the rant or what?
- nextaccountic 5y agoIs it true that the intent behind Oxide is that the customer can only run images signed by you?
- wmf 5y agoI don't know why people are so allergic to the terms private cloud, (hyper)converged infrastructure, cloud repatriation, etc.
- riking 5y agoIt's because the well got poisoned by marketing teams selling things that were not actually a material improvement over what came before.
