Curious to know what the experiences are for those who are sticking to bare metal. Would like to better understand what keeps such admins from migrating to containers, Docker, Podman, Virtual Machines, etc. What keeps you on bare metal in 2025?

    A NAS as bare metal makes sense.
    It can then correctly interact with the raw disks.

    You could pass an entire HBA card through to a VM, but I feel like it should be horses for courses.
    Let a storage device be a storage device, and let a hypervisor be a hypervisor.
