The Forgotten Operator
Talk by Bryan Cantrill
https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/...
The on-premises operator -- tasked with running elastic, virtual infrastructure on brittle hardware in their own datacenters -- has been broadly ignored, told by the industry that they don't exist at all. In this talk, we'll discuss the forgotten operator: how they have been failed by the industry, why they persist despite it -- and why the problems that they have historically faced alone are more important than ever.
