Going serverless - What do you do about proxy settings?

[dmj]

Or just uploaded it to the existing door controllers and use DNS to round-robin load balance.

 

 

Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!

Some funny posts - for me I can see both sides. On the one hand running a server in a cuboard somewhere is archaic, but it is cheap and ub3r reliable and not reliant on your broadband line which can be big benefits.

 

On the other hand the modern way is cloud everything and I get that. But what i don't get is why "force cloud" in areas where a server in a cuboard would be easier and better? It seems once people decide to go cloud they force themselves to go cloud no matter how unsuitable it is for, for example a local DHCP or local printing needs.

 

Ultimatly in my 24 years expernece, my server room has been an order of magnitude more reliabile than any of the cloud systems that exist to date.

still more complex, more expensive, less reliable and less scalable than running serverless in free tier

 

Get permission to use credit card, work out how to not go over the limits, get lowest priority serving and support.

 

Not sure how scalable you need to be to serve 1 http request every 10 mins, a raspberry pi is 1000x overkill in reality.

LOL ours are almost as old as that meme.

I wasn't sure anybody was going to get it TBH!

Never underestimate the number of "more experienced" persons on here. Or the bandwidth of a station wagon full of backup tapes.

Thanks for all the replies. I have been ill, but will read through them when I'm back.

So, it turns out Smoothwall do a cloud based proxy / filtering system, that works with all devices. We already have a bnunch of Chromebooks, so ill start testing this out with those.
