Sometimes I wonder about how much compute power is wasted on building a static blog or whatever as a multi-zone, multi-cloud docker image running on Kubernetes with automatic scaling and redundant load balancing. Because that's what "modern DevOps" looks like

When it could just be a fucking VPS

But is it worth the six figure cloud provider bill and SRE team running it?
