This is most definitely true, and it's the same argument I used with the IBM folks when they said "people won't move to the public cloud because security". Who has the money and incentive to invest in getting it right? Large providers with lots of skin in the game.

it's a while since I've heard anybody sincerely say that they have better security on prem than the big clouds do - even the banks say clouds do security better

Yeah, this was a failed strategy pitch saying "we'll do hybrid / crossover because some folks won't trust public cloud security" Seemed like a bad idea because they showed no sign of investment or aptitude to be better than public.

yeah but extreme custom hosting specify everything down to the firmware level on the SCSI card is not cloud

If it spins up as fast, and can be defined declaratively it's practically the same... far too much

no, something that has to be hand picked and configured is NOT the same as a pool of identical commodity servers where you don't care about the hardware, just choose the perf band. Utterly different model.

Where does 'hand picked' enter into this? It's 2018, you can configure this declaratively and automate in exactly the same was as anything else. Same practical difference and I use both...

you don't see the difference between "give me this much ram in my VM" and "I want this card with this level of firmware driver in this chassis with that processor"? Apart from losing ALL the abstraction, you lose all the commodity scale benefits

Lose is the wrong word. Just different tradeoffs.

you can write code to ask for that config; the custom hoster cannot write code to physically assemble that custom machine, so no automated deployment at scale, so not cloud
