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.
