So, you manage computers using crashcarts like in ugly old days of PC servers?

I thought that had considerable issue with scaling...



I guess you thought wrong. What do you think this hardware tech is doing in this video?

Men with carts scale perfectly. One guy can manage 1000 machines. 2 guys can manage 2000. Perfect scaling.


I see no crashcart there, only hw maintenance while crashcarts are where they belong, in the trash of history (yeah, google servers have BMCs)

(For reference: a crash cart is a cart with monitor, keyboard, mouse, cabling for them, and possibly external drives to help you install base OS, used for when you have no remote management)
