I personally have an old-school ops background, so for me managing servers is fine. However, I just had to drag some of my colleagues through an explanation of the infrastructure I set up earlier this year. For them, it was about 80% irrelevant ops-ish details versus 20% stuff they actually cared about. And I get it. They shouldn&#x27;t have to care.<p>The whole notion of a &quot;virtual server&quot; is basically like saying, &quot;radio with pictures&quot; or &quot;horseless carriage&quot;. It only makes sense in a specific historical context. We&#x27;re still figuring out what comes next, but I think it&#x27;s safe to say that 20 years from now the main building block will be something different than the simulation of a 1970s university department minicomputer that we&#x27;re all using now.
