Building your own infrastructure can be cost-effective and less complex than using cloud services, with open source technologies like Ceph, Lex, and Oven.
- Cloud services can be expensive and complex, with potential vendor lock-in.
- Building your own infrastructure can be cost-effective and less complex, with open source technologies like Ceph, Lex, and Oven.
- These technologies provide redundant distributed storage, network compute, and frequent releases.
- They can run on cheap hardware, such as Raspberry Pi.
- The speaker has tested these technologies in a data center and found them to be stable and reproducible.
