CLOUD is such a fucking rip off!! Anyone with any sense can see that.
My favorite part of Amazon’s Web Service is AWS Outposts.
**BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA**
They will put the AWS cloud in your data center.
You will rent AWS servers and the rack they sit in. You will administer them, power and cool them, handle all the connectivity to the servers and you get to run all the software..
It is such a fucking rip off.

I found out that Azure DevOps can be hosted in this same manner. You pay a license fee to host and maintain it yourself. I was shocked. Lmao.

I see the approach of Outposts, just don’t know if I agree with it. Part of the point is it lets you have a dedicated, isolated, on-premise platform **without** the need to train existing engineers/admins on a secondary technology like Nutanix, ProxMox, etc. So your calculus should include the cost to rent vs dedicated head count (and let me tell you, companies fucking hate headcount). Now all that being said, I have yet to see a situation where it really is more cost effective, especially due to the things you mentioned.
