The data center as a black box

No not that black box. I don't want to have to be a hardware, OS, middleware, scalability stuff I've never heard of expert just to deploy an app and be prepared for the "problem" of high traffic.

Why? Ian Bicking said it best:

I hate computers.  I really hate them a lot.  I dream of some world of Platonic ideals where software just exists...

Long gone are the days that I would set aside a Saturday to install a new video card in my PC. IRQs, QEMM loading seqeunce blah blah blah. I love USB. It just works. We need USB for the data center. Like Google App Engine but Open. Deploying an app should be as simple as "who has the best plan for my stack today"? Click click. Done.
