Curious to know what the experiences are for those who are sticking to bare metal. Would like to better understand what keeps such admins from migrating to containers, Docker, Podman, Virtual Machines, etc. What keeps you on bare metal in 2025?

    For me the learning curve of learning containers does not match the value proposition of what benefits they’re supposed to provide.

      I really thought the same thing. But it truly is super easy. At least just the containers like docker. Not kubernetes, that shit is hard to wrap your head around.

      Plus if you screw up one service and mess everything up, you don’t have to rebuild your whole machine.
