Video Description

Do you stay up at night wondering what server runs your cloud instances or how does a "Bare Metal Cloud" even work? We took a brand new Supermicro 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable "Sapphire Rapids" server and installed it in the PhoenixNAP Bare Metal Cloud to see how it works. Disclosure: PhoenixNAP helped offset the costs of having us fly to Phoenix and use their service. We also got special access to the data center. They did not get to see this before publishing or get any editorial control.
