I think the move to WFH has accelerated this shift (a worthwhile tradeoff IMO)
Previously when working with a company (small startup or large company) you'd have an office LAN and a few servers, or a corporate VPN which your office network was on, and Openstack, or other 'local' services available.
Now that a large number (the majority?) of devs are working remote, if you want local/internal services you need to get everyone's buggy VPN software configured correctly
- josephcsible 4y agoIf cloud services don't need a VPN to use, why would companies' self-hosted services?
- arccy 4y agobecause the company's IT people can't manage to keep all those self hosted systems up to date and secure
- dx034 4y agoBecause they have enough staff to detect and fix vulnerabilities within hours, if necessary. For a company without these resources (and maybe even larger ones), hiding servers from the internet can greatly reduce your attack surface.
