The article discusses the emerging trend of bare-metal clouds in the world of cloud computing, highlighting several key factors driving their importance: AI/ML Workloads: They offer superior performance for training AI/ML models, making them attractive to businesses seeking to operate complex AI/ML apps or services in the cloud. Control Over Infrastructure: They offer a solution by allowing businesses to migrate workloads to servers in the cloud while retaining more control and visibility without the need to repatriate workloads on-premises. High Workload Performance: They excel in delivering ultra-high workload performance as they eliminate the "noisy neighbor" problem. Cybersecurity Benefits: Improved cybersecurity is a priority for businesses and bare-metal servers can enhance security by reducing the attack surface. Incident Response and Troubleshooting: The absence of a hypervisor layer reduces complexity, making it easier to pinpoint the root causes of problems.
