Hey now, I made a killing in AWS consulting to convince megacorps to get rid of their own hardware and avoid going the OpenStack route.

The problems of pre-IaaS and pre-K8s were manageability, flexibility, and capacity utilization. These problems still haven't really been solved to a standardized, interoperable, and uniform manner because stacks continue to mushroom in complexity. Oxide appears to be on the right track but there is much that can be done to reduce the amount of tinkering, redundant abstractions, and avoiding conventional lifecycle management and cross-cutting concerns that people don't want to think about whenever another new way comes along.
