“Some providers now have something called Metal-as-a-Service, which I really think ought to mean that an '80s metal band shows up at your office, plays a gig, smashes the furniture, and urinates on the carpet, but alas, it's just the cloud providers' way of finally admitting that cloud computing isn't really the right answer for all applications.”
