Running Your Own Cluster Is Now Simpler Than Believing in PaaS

Описание и применение

Самостоятельный запуск кластера с помощью ИИ‑ассистента становится проще и экономичнее, чем обещания PaaS, учитывая недавние сбои и рост расходов на облако.

Задача

Teams rely on PaaS to avoid ops, but outages, cost, and vendor lock‑in undermine the promised simplicity, reliability, and savings.

Результат

Self‑hosting with AI assistance can match or beat PaaS in cost, reliability, and control, while freeing teams from vendor‑specific ops burdens.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Assess FinOps and ops staff count
• 2. Identify fixes possible during vendor outages
• 3. Price equivalent stack on plain VMs
• 4. Verify backup ownership and location
• 5. Review recent vendor outage reports
• 6. Deploy a throwaway cluster with an AI agent over a weekend
• 7. Retain managed services only for compliance, on‑call, or burst traffic
