+1. If you don't sell it to our customers, and the regulator, law or
customer contract doesn't require it, don't do it. Doing your first
server is like 1MEUR YRC, you can probably capitalise that investment
with a more core business focused target.
If you are going to do compute, do it right and sell it.

The days when acceptable compute is tower pc in your broom closet
lundia shelf and maintained on 'if someone is awake and wants to do
it' basis are not really acceptable but often used as cost comparison
towards cloud.
