    Agreed.

    With that $230k/year you’d have to hire more engineers to maintain the servers in addition to the normal day to day stuff they would be doing more quickly in AWS.

    You’d also have to simply find engineers who are willing to work on that platform. I personally would not. If someone else out there is willing to figure out the details on pxe booting or the ipmi differences across vendors or hacking snmp data from a switch into a modern monitoring stack, good luck to them. Those days are behind me though. I’m never going back.
