Where have I heard this before?
I never thought I was that old, but I do remember the vmware sales pitches about vm allowing us to move/migrate apps onto a system and run the cpu at a higher rate. I remember something about containers doing something similar. At the end of day, most system, even today in the big clouds still are spend most of their time at idle. I seldom hear anybody talk about job scheduling, unless it is an old mainframe. I only hear the app needs to be up 100% of the time. I don't really think most IT leaders really understand what it takes to build an app stack that is on-demand, leveraging lamba functions or whatever microservice your trusty cloud provider serves up. At a primitive, I don't really care (Yes, I failed sensitivity training). I have a job building and servicing data centers, so I should employeed for another few years. When you start the conversation at the building / cpu level, you are going to get building cpu answers. The answer TReko, should be the starting point for the conversation.
