Well for folks building out cloud infrastructure, building your own networking stack and registry is a good way to achieve platform independence, without which you'll be left at a disadvantage and vulnerable to the whims of cloud providers who may or may not extend volume discounts, thus indirectly harming your ability to compete.
- chrisandchris 3y agoDoesn't the requirement of "building your own networking stack" outcompete with "just colocate"? I would assume that the skills required for building your own network ist just as high as hosting your own hardware. But I don't have any data point, so just a wild guess.
- wmf 3y agoAn over-overlay is almost never the right solution. If you want platform-independent networking you should use an API shim layer that configures the underlying VPCs the way you want.
