Episode 73 – Hosting from home, colo, or cloud
Welcome to Episode 73
Main Topic
Self hosting, vs cloud hosting, vs colo hosting
- Control
-
- Home: full control
- Colo: less control but still high
- IaaS: You’ve lost some control, but you still retain some. Decent trade off.
- SaaS: little to no control
- Convenience
-
- Home: Convenient for access, but just about nothing else.
-
- Colo: Access is inconvenient, but power/cooling is much more convenient
- IaaS: This can be very convenient if you’re not into dealing with hardware at all.
- SaaS: the loss of control can be inconvenient, but your not responsible for most of the stack, so its super convenient that way.
- Excitement or passion
-
- Home: If you’re passionate about privacy, or doing it yourself, this can be a huge thrill
- Colo: This is actually very similar to hosting at home, you just arent worried about the power/cooling.
- IaaS: This isnt terribly different from Colo, unless you love tweaking hardware. IaaS can be very fun for someone who likes to build.
- SaaS: I guess this depends on you, but SaaS is basically a canned solution, not much to get excited about.
- UpTime/OnCall
-
- Home: You, you, and you.. No backup…
- Colo: You, you, and mostly you.. Backup maybe?
- IaaS: You’re responsible for your apps
- SaaS: You’re screwed. Good luck.
