I do think there's something in there about the immediacy of a replacement if a currently-live box falls over. Rough rule of thumb says it's hours for a physical box, minutes for a VM, seconds for a k8s container, a hopefully smaller number of seconds for a serverless cold start. Each of those has ergonomics different enough that it might matter even with config management that rhymes across the options.
- miah_ 4y agoWe should design a protocol that bootstraps newly booted systems via some protocol.. We could call it the Bootstrap Protocol, or bootp for short...
- chillfox 4y agoSure, but if you are considering a physical box then you have presumably already decided that you are OK with it taking longer to replace.
