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!

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.

Some of you already understand what I'm saying, and by that video I'm
definitely not the first to say this.
