Maybe one wants to mantain the application and not the server? Long time ago i booked a vps, install some bsd on it and thought i am good.

A month later a ntp security vulnerability was discovered, soon the server was put offline, some 'patch your things asap' not so nice emails came in. From that time my take is one should spend some time probably daily on an own server if one wants to mantain it.

Right, because a barebone docker hypervisor needs so much admining.

It runs NTP, does it not?

Aren't Azure Compute Nodes also "bare metal"?

Based on a quick Google search for "Azure Compute Node":

> A node is an Azure virtual machine (VM) or cloud service VM

> The terms node and VM are used interchangeably occasionally

> Azure Batch creates and manages a pool of compute nodes (virtual machines)

> In an Azure Batch workflow, a compute node (or node) is a virtual machine that processes a portion of your application's workload

So no, seems Azure Compute Nodes are VMs, not bare metal.
