Guys, I've got it- instead of locking ourselves in with one vendor's platform and being subject to their mismanagement and arbitrary rules, why don't we buy our own hardware and do it ourselves?

We can free up our OpEx budget too! My sales rep sent me a TCO that shows it is way cheaper to run a data center than to pay a cloud subscription!

I'm calling the CFO!

Great idea! Can't wait for our own mismanagement and arbitrary rules! I always wanted to play hobbyist technical infrastructure specialist.

Will your own hardware have the same reliability as google?
