Why would a datacenter employ an on site software engineer though? Anyway amazon already has plenty of those in house.

Outside of construction I don't believe datacenters employ many people locally.

It would be rather silly is a multi-billion dollar investment went down because, for some reason, admins couldn't remote in.

That's startup to mid sized traditional company thinking. Not at the hyperscaler enterprise scale.

Anybody working in even classic datacenter physical ops already knows how to plug a KVM with a cell modem into a box to let the engineers remote in. That's assuming the racks aren't already built to support this natively these days.

Come on, this is the industry that is going gangbusters on the fetish of mass unemployment and deskilling, you don't think they're doing everything they can to have to only hire a few local bodies at minimum wage to basically pull a bad rack out and slot a new spare in?
