I feel like the "running your own datacenter" complexity of on prem is a big part of why companies go to the cloud in the first place - but that a good amount of cloud lock-in is actually in the software/service stack and reliance on it. I know there is a competent open source option for most of these services (and in fact most are repackaged open source software...), but they do seem pretty disparate and require quite a fair bit of knowledge and expertise to deploy and run at scale.

Secondary question in the same thread: What about "accounting"? Running infrastructure at large-scale companies (such that would look at a rack-level solution) usually entails budgeting and accounting of resources - how does oxide simplify this for infrastructure ops trying to keep the various IT consumers honest?
