Evolution of service deployment
summary
Chronicles a concrete shift: 1990 procurement cycles that take a year with IBM RS/6000 running AIX 3 with 100MB disk give way to 1996 developer-built servers like Red Hat Linux 5.1 on a 486 66MHz with 8MB RAM, then to 2004 staging on VMware VMs, and by 2013 full self-service stacks where teams provision OpenStack IaaS and OpenShift PaaS to deploy load‑balanced web tiers, reverse‑proxy caches, object stores, DB redundancy and backups in minutes instead of months
