How many companies have not yet learned that lesson? There are probably a lot of codespaces on AWS. My reasoning is that if you make it so that a developer can set up a virtual datacenter but does not have the background of actually running such an installation then you're going to have to assume that it is probably quite fragile.

Software people tend to make all kinds of assumptions about hardware that do not work out in practice.




That the problem with the recent "DevOps" trend. Lots of people coming from a "Dev" background, but no real "Ops".

And now that spinning up a couple of servers on AWS and creating snapshots on-the-fly are so easy, it gives the false impression that you don't need much to act as a sysadmin.
