You wouldn't usually jump from AWS to buying up real estate to build your own physical data center.

A sensible first step is to rent a rack at a colocation facility. They handle power, cooling, redundancy, physical access for you.

I wonder if there's a whole new generation of engineers that don't realize this? After all, how would they know about co-location if only ever using the cloud? We already interview ops and network slanted candidates that don't know what ARP is (we've now added this as an early quick screen).
