Why do we need state files when Azure, AWS and even Hyper-V know what it is hosting?

Pull the information, check against a config file, deploy.

Simple, clean and efficient.

I figured you had some fetishes but self policing was not one I had in mind...

I'm curious how it goes! I was looking at one

I'll try to at least be in the comments!

Yeah, I got a question. Why haven't I been invited?

But also, how do we fix users?

I had a buddy at work be like "one of us can operate off of 2 hours of sleep, taking care of a baby and the other is struggling with caffeine and 9 hours of sleep"

I believe in you buddy! Even though I only had 4 hours last night... I'm so tired grandpa

Cost. I've never met a more budget conscious group lol

Cloud is never cheaper for their needs

Definitely! It just also comes down to cost and use case. Engineering firms can't use cloud storage, it breaks every known CAD software for example. But your average office worker doesn't need that and SharePoint/OneDrive (or similar) is perfect. Or shove containers into k8s or cloud and be done lol

No, that they do not. Typically would be Hyper-V or VMware "traditional hosting". Either way still interesting! I like your perspective

How does your model account for on-prem hybrid infrastructure? Or is it cloud only?
January 12, 2025 at 11:34 PM
I can understand that viewpoint but I view it this way: Infrastructure should be making build pipelines for the app teams. That way they are created by folks who live and breath infrastructure. Taking a security first approach
