2026: the year of your own metal in a rack
2027: the year of migrating from your own metal to a managed provider
2028: the year of migrating from a managed provider to the cloud
2029: the year of migrating from the cloud to your own metal in a rack
People keep thinking the solution to their problems is to do something new (that they don't fully understand).
TIL it's called Nirvana Fallacy
The upside of keep moving it acts as a hardener and chaos monkey. You shake out any crufty service no one knows how to build let alone deploy.
Just experienced this with moving around multiple states and universities in the past year :) Grass really was greener in my hometown
We used to call it "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."
I'd predict the year of linux desktop instead.
At least YOLD is possible. Is there capacity in the world for everyone to ditch clouds.
I've been doing it since 1998 in my bedroom with a dual T1 (and on to real DCs later). While I've had some outages for sure it makes me feel better I am not that divergent in uptime in the long run vs big clouds.
Are you still on a dual T1? that's gotta be expensive
(and on to real DCs later) would imply their bare metal is now located in a data center.
really should stop skimming the comment when i find a part to comment on <facepalm>
