Control vs operational burden
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
weigh control against the effort of operating.
Planned topics
- More control means more to run: patching, scaling, backup, on-call.
- Higher-level services remove undifferentiated work so the team can spend time on what makes the business different.
- Control is only worth having where you need it: special runtime, unusual network, strict tuning.
- Count people and skills, not just licence price; an unowned VM costs more than its invoice.
- Default to the highest level that meets requirements, and move down only with a stated reason.
