All true, but you've got a few issues:

- Flame still assumes you have a server somewhere- this is purely for elastic workloads.

- Dynamically scaling horizontally is not something "linux" can do for you: It's a legitimately hard problem because of all the usual distributed systems difficulties.

- Often, there are workloads that are only needed occasionally but also have very different resource needs than the rest of the system. Being forced to not only create a new version of your application, but additionally a bespoke server setup and dedicated VM/Container image for that case takes something that could be trivial in the Flame model, and makes it take hours even for someone experienced.

Basically, you really should've read the article first.
