For smaller shops I'd argue storage is the hardest part. I've done several OpenStack and baremetal K8s deployments on prem and the part that always stressed me out the most was storage. I'd happily pay a markup for that vs just about anything else that would be more economical to do on prem for smaller simpler workloads.
- bob1029 2y agoThis is it for me too. EBS is a bigger deal than the EC2 instances themselves.

- bigfatkitten 2y agoHow so? If you're a Windows shop, Bitlocker has been available to you since 2008. If you're a Red Hat shop, Clevis + Tang has made this a no brainer since 2014. If you have lots of money and run your root filesystems via FC or iSCSI from NetApp filers, then NSE has been around for close to 20 years now.
