Thanks for chiming in but his reason for can't be cloud was, "We use the full capacity of each server, all the time." That ain't good reason. They do have baremetal servers like I pointed out. We use them when for cases where we need access to perf counters. On Tue, Jul 16, 2019 at 4:10 PM Bryan Fields <Bryan@bryanfields.net> wrote:

The 2nd requirement seems artificial. The new hypervisors have come a long way and the overhead is minimal. Also you can run bare metal instances in AWS if you really need them with 100Gbps.
Well the man wants bare metal, and while there's arguments for and against it, it's what he wants to buy :)
That said, I'm one of those guys that likes owing my own hypervisor, don't need to worry about the side channel/memory/OOO execution attacks from rogue VM's if it's only my VM's on it. Plus AWS ain't cheap either.
