    Yup. I’ve had the same thoughts. There are many who still think its insane to have your own equipment. Now there will be those who think its insane to do your own thinking.

      Yeah, but you get to exchange cap-ex for op-ex!

      Nevermind that running a 48 core server in Azure with 16TB of managed disks is going to run about 21k a year, and you can practically buy a new server for that price.

      My company is tossing out their “old” equipment right now, which is why I have a nice server humming away in my basement right now.
