Comment on Ask: What API is missing?

Basic infrastructure sucks to manage. Dhcp, tftp, pxe, site dns, pki, kerberos, sysctl, disk subsystems, raid cards(!!!), directory services, & host networking. All of those are requisite basic infrastructure for sites. And best case you get a bunch of incompatible clunky 1980s era libraries. Ohad levy has made a start on this, but it's more "I needed a thing to do this thing" stage.

Oh, a real answer may be networking. However I suspect the enterprisey network guys are going to get there before the web 3.0 "devops" kids even realize its a Problem. Bright side is it'll be clunky java ee SDN garbage so there will still be room for late comers.
