me? I'm a software guy. i dont really care much about the hardware. i want the thing to be stable and not have to worry about driver support on linux but i'm perfectly happy to let someone more knowledgable make those decisions for me.

but software? i like coding _a lot_ and i love learning about the latest algorithms and monads. even if they're of no practical use, it's all super interesting to me.

i guess...as long as the hardware can execute my code, i'm happy with it.

People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

hardware because you can have useful hardware without software (but also depending on how you define “software”), but can you have software without hardware?

yeah you can code without a computer. it's just a set of instructions. if you can get a group of people and make them respond to instructions for you can program them..people software.

but weirdly it is still software if it is on one of those 5” floppies that bend and are softer.

AWS appears to have created their own iLo to manage bare metal servers, I wonder why it took so long.

quote:

Announcing Amazon EC2 Bare Metal Instances (Preview)
Posted On: Nov 28, 2017

Amazon EC2 Bare Metal instances provide your applications with direct access to the processor and memory of the underlying server. These instances are ideal for workloads that require access to hardware feature sets (such as Intel VT-x), or for applications that need to run in non-virtualized environments for licensing or support requirements.
With Bare Metal instances, you can deploy applications that use physical hardware resources directly on AWS infrastructure, and scale these applications up and down in minutes. Just like other EC2 instances, Bare Metal instances also provide support for different AWS services such as Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). Bare Metal instances are based on the next generation Nitro system, a collection of AWS-built hardware offload and hardware security components that enable high performance, high availability, and improved security for critical applications.
EC2 Bare Metal instances are available for preview on the I3 instance family in the form of the “i3.metal” instance type. You can request access to EC2 Bare Metal instances by completing our request form here.
