If we think about building our own mini-DC to host .mu then yes it will
cost in the seven millions. I propose a scalable infrastruture. Having a
bunch of physical metals we end up being like "gov.mu" which used to die
during peak time. A good infrastructure isn't just about expensive servers
but rather how they interoperate.

Engineers with an ISP exposure will surely grasp the technologies. If we
look at learning application operations as if learning Greek from scratch,
then we should forget it. People having had exposure to manage critical
applications & services are usually proactive and if they're committed then
it's better. If I can't switch from one application to another in a short
lapse of time, then my engineering skills are a waste. One doesn't learn
applications but the technologies behind them and then you gain expertise
over each of those apps.
