Wanting to turn on just one more server to find months of lead time and a bunch of red tape to get stuff done, yeah I don't miss "owning the hardware" one bit.

Wanting to turn on just one more server to find months of lead time and a bunch of red tape to get stuff done, yeah I don't miss "owning the hardware" one bit. In times of economic hardship when finding skilled labor to manage infrastructure is easier to achieve, trading hardware costs for labor costs may make more sense, but I don't see that happening in today's economies for most western economies.
- tuckerman 4y agoI think there is a quiet but noticeable push back to owning hardware for predictable workloads but that’s beside the point. You can run nomad on EC2, GCE, whatever the Azure equivalent is, in addition to bare metal you own. Setting up your own, non-managed Kubernetes cluster is definitely possible but I’d argue it’s on a whole different level of difficulty.
