Virtual machines are not a recent invention. They were already being used on IBM mainframes starting in the early 1970s:

Notably, the VM operating system could run an instance of itself in one of its own virtual machines.

Is it really a pendulum, or is it more that this was always an idea with merit that's now finally seeing wider adoption because it's become more widely available? (In part, I understand, due to some IBM patents that expire 10 or so years ago)

Serverless is kind of like Apache running PHP scripts in virtual hosts.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing people that shared hosting is preferable to dedicated, and then charging them way more money for it.

The cloud is just someone else's computer in a data center in new Jersey about to be hurt by a hurricane.
