We had a small betting pool to predict the replies to what I said. [ ✓ ] Try to reduce what I said into Cloud vs Not Cloud. Way to go Mr. Allbery, you bought my lunch.
To better illustrate my point, here are two pictures. This next is SysAdmin "Automation" as it stands today (Canning Factory 1893). Notice the helpful tools, maybe got some timers down there, maybe some thermostats on the water tanks. This is how a lot of LOPSA sees the world. If only we could build a better hoist to automatically drop the cans in! http://i.imgur.com/qhTwoJH.jpg <http://i.imgur.com/qhTwoJH.jpg> This is a modern Liquid Processing setup. It does essentially the same function, making food shippable and shelf safe, but it doesn't use canning as the people in the last picture understand it. Also notice the lack of people? A system like this needs a handful of decently trained operators to go around and fix the odd thing that breaks from wear and tear, now and then. Its also decently more complicated to design, and is built by engineers. http://i.imgur.com/891bAg6.jpg <http://i.imgur.com/891bAg6.jpg> Some of you already understand what I'm saying, and by that video I'm definitely not the first to say this.
