There was a blog post on here the other day about moving back to bare metal hosting with practical explanations and problem solving.
Cloud is great but its just borrowing someone else's machine for a fee. It's like a hyper-scalable and granular mainframe but like all mainframes, the client is powerless without it.
We need to get our acts together and not allow ourselves to be smothered in silicon nimbus (clouds) and lose track of the open sky that is the internet.
I am not suggesting going back to the 2000s with a small tower PC under someone's desk with a blinking light running a business critical cron job.
Just that we need more appetite to take responsibility of our servers and systems. Yes it takes time to manage and get up to speed, but that's empowering right....?
