Enterprise!

We drive the ³VM=Cattle² message pretty hard. Part of onboarding a
property to our cloud, and allowing them to serve traffic from VMs is
explaining the transient nature of VMs. I broadcast the message that all
compute resources die, and if your day/week/month is ruined because of a
single compute instance going away, then you¹re doing something Very
Wrong. :)
