Episode notes
Data Center Visit
- Ingrid Burrington visited a data center for an article in The Atlantic.
- She found it less ethereal than the term "cloud" suggests, observing rows of servers and extensive cabling.
Cloud Reality
- The "cloud" is a misnomer; it's physical infrastructure owned by someone else.
- Chris Waterston's sticker "There is no cloud; it's just someone else's computer" highlights this.
Cloud Appeal
- Developers are drawn to the cloud for its scalability and ease of use.
- They don't want to manage infrastructure; they want their apps to run seamlessly.
