"Data redundancy is not a joke, Jim!"
-- Dwight Schrute

RAID is operational redundancy, not backup. Do a proper 3-2-1 for data you care about

"Don't use cloud, bare metal is so much cheaper!!"

"Don't use bare metal, do you want to deploy k8s??"

When BareMetalSavings.com shows you you can save >= $500K on a deployment, the next step is to figure out if it makes sense, isn't it?
