DPUs are cheap blade servers you can mount in a tower? Is that a somewhat good analogy?

- walterbell 4y agoDPUs are more expensive than blade servers. They are like application-specific middleboxes ("transforms, inspects, filters, or manipulates traffic for purposes other than packet forwarding") on a PCI card, with gradual standardization for high-value data flows.
- funstuff007 4y agoIf that's so, then: AWS needs Nitro/DPU for isolation and security, and self hosted should go with the more blades over beefy boxes + DPUs?
