```
* human-centric
* easy, automated, replication and migration to different datacenter provider
* blob storage replicated generically
* files on the exclusive filesystems replicated via application-aware process, e.g.:
* asynchronous, but "live" database replication
* shutdown app then rsync directories
* ZFS replication and snapshot-ing
* Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats awareness for all apps
* Not everything needs to start on Nix, NixOs, or with NixOps
* Do not use "Open Core"
* GitLab
* Dovcot
* Zimbra
* LXC containers (not Docker-style)
