Oracle, AWS & Azure all have "Cloud at Customer" offerings.
And these offerings have existed for years.
And from hardware manufacturers, Dell/VCE, Nutanix, and more "hyper-converged" infra has existed.
Note: I'm not being a hater. I'm just genuinely confused.

- reffaelwallen 3y agomaybe its about allowing you to create your own cloud, not using a third party vendor's software? its not a computer you hook up to a cloud, it is its own cloud? i only know about aws outpost tho, so I might be wrong
- alberth 3y ago> "not using a third party vendor's software" Wouldn't you still be using 3rd party vendor software, it'd be Oxide software now?
- LoganDark 3y ago> Oracle, AWS & Azure all have "Cloud at Customer" offerings. AFAIK they manage it for you, as if you're just a colo. Whereas oxide just hands the entire rack + software over, but with no self install of any software stacks required (such as with azure)
- CyberDildonics 3y agoThis is literally what people would do long before 'the cloud' was ever a buzzword.
- LoganDark 3y agoYeah because oxide.computer isn't someone else's machine anymore. It's yours. That's literally why it's so exciting lol
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhy would it be exciting for a company to be literally doing what lots of companies have been doing for literally 25 years?
- LoganDark 3y agobecause they do it better...?
- CyberDildonics 3y agoDo what better? Rent out computers connected to the internet? How are they doing it better?
