The Forgotten Operator

Talk by Bryan Cantrill
www.socallinux...
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.

I worked at Juniper in 2012-2015, and I remember the CEO saying "How do I know that Google is investing in ASICs and is not all-commodity-x64? Because they're stealing my engineers!"
