Re:Rolling your own servers with Kubernetes

So, $400/mo is overkill power wise. What would the bandwidth bill look like? How much of an up front investment is it to buy 48U worth of hardware? Seems expensive...

I'm spending $375/mo for 8U, 12A, and 300mbit unlimited (3 x 100mbit bonded). The 8U gives me a GBe private network, 120 cores or so, 350GB RAM, and 20TB or so of storage.
The servers cost me $1200-$2200 each and I would buy a new one every quarter until I got to where I am today. I haven't added new hardware for almost 2 years, but its more than capable of handling my workloads (mostly web apps, lots of servers satisfying sql,ldap,etc dependencies). I burst (and failover) to all the clouds today.
