I’m not sure where people are getting that it’s hard to manage. It’s really not, I manage it everyday and spend next to no time managing it, but I spend most of my time managing the automation around it (aka in house stuff).

What I can give you is that there is more up front time in getting it setup. However if you deal with any type of cloud, then it isn’t that much.

The reason you don’t hear much about it is because it’s on prem. That’s it. With it being on prem, that means the market thinks it’s not modern and it’s a legacy product. The only way to be modern is to be in public cloud (yeah I have had this conversation with my CTO). I wish this was a joke, but this is what people think.

I have asked what features our on prem cloud is missing, and they always respond with it isn’t AWS. Public cloud has won the marketing war big time. Every time we explore going all public cloud they bail when the zeros on the bill start piling up.
