Hmmmm -- I'm not sure that's the way we should slice it. Not to lean too
hard on the pets-vs-cattle analogy, but long-term, I think that's the better
distinction -- which probably includes systems running on bare metal under
the "cloud" umbrella. OpenStack and possibly oVirt compute nodes tend to
fall in the "cattle" category too, and one can easily see a server farm
running many near-identical Atomic instances on bare metal.
We *could* go the other way -- cloud being virt guests and server being bare
metal. From the perspective of putting together the release, that does make
some sense, but I think it's mostly a useful distinction from _that_
direction, and not so useful from the user/usecase side.
I am not looking at it from cattle, pets, or anything, but is server really focused on
bare-metal as much as the
services running on a box whether it is a vm, a server, a cartridge, or a cow? And is
cloud more focused on images
inside of a vm or on the whole ecosystem of a cloud services (eg there has to be hardware
some level down in the
turtles of clouds.. right?)
no - and virtual servers existed before the buzzword clould was invented
a server is a server is a server
no matter if it is phyiscal or virtualized
look at P2V conversion - after that it's the same server as before
but virtualized, so no - bare metal or virtualized is meaningless
we are VMware driven and a virtual server is identically handeled
than a bare metal box years before - really identical
