Flexibility is a kind of strength. It is just more subtle than brute force. If we had to identify one thing that plagues all systems, whether we are talking about transportation systems or food production networks or the datacenters of the millions of companies in the world, it is that the elements of that system are static and you have to do capacity planning and to overprovision capacity in its many shapes and sizes ahead of time.
What if we didn’t have to do this anymore? What if a server was truly logical, malleable, almost infinitely configurable from the point of view of applications? Meaning that you are not just cutting something big into smaller pieces, as both server virtualization and containerization do, with distinct workloads that might have otherwise been on distinct machines, to drive up utilization across the whole system, but rather composing even big machines together on the fly when needed. What if this kind of composability was available for compute, networking, and storage?
