    Client: this is outrageous! You expect me to pay for this shit?! You can't even keep my existing server up and running 24/7! I'm leaving your company!

    Ops: okay, bye.

    @hack that's easy then, won't pay more? Won't have 0-downtime maintenance and resilience to hw/sw faults, servers don't grow on trees and we ain't a charity :3
