Oh right, for their data centers. I could see this being useful there too, brings costs down lower.
- CharlesW 1y ago> So similar to Apple Silicon. Yes, in the sense that this is at least partially inspired by Apple's vertical integration playbook, which has now been extended to their own data centers based on custom Apple Silicon¹ and a built-for-purpose, hardened edition of Darwin². ¹ https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/ https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/ ² https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)
- giancarlostoro 1y agoYeah, its interesting, years ago I never thought Apple nor Microsoft would do this, but also Google has done this on their cloud as well, so it makes sense.
- georgeburdell 1y agoVertical integration only works if your internal teams can stay in the race at each level well enough to keep the stack competitive as a whole. Microsoft can’t attract the same level of talent as Apple because their pay is close to the industry median
