I want to use them because I'm not paying for it and managing your own hardware is a pain in the ass I'd rather avoid when I could just code instead. Which is not to say that using your own hardware isn't smart, but it is definitely miserable.
- regularfry 2y agoIn my experience you swap managing your own hardware for managing intensely obtuse service configurations, pretty much 1:1. That might be preferable but I see a lot of folks approach it like the tradeoff doesn't exist.
- xorcist 2y agoBut you don't "manage your own hardware" if you are renting VMs, which was the question here. Also managing a cloud infrastructure is a lot more complex than running Debian and Ansible on a VM.
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoSorry, I think I must have miscommunicated. I was communicating why I was arguing for using the cloud.
