While it is more complex to actually build out the center , a lot of that is specific to the regional you are doing it.
Thy will vary by country, by state or even county , setting up a DC in the Bay Area and say one in Ohio or Utah is a very different endeavor with different design considerations.

What point are you trying to make? It does not matter where you are in the world, or what local laws exist or permits are required, racking up servers in a cage is much less difficult than physically building a data center (of which racking up servers is a part).
I meant that the learning from doing actual build outs aren't going to translate in other geographies and regulatory climates, not that the work is less difficult or not interesting and important.
Also people doing the build outs of a DC aren't likely keen on talking about permits and confidential agreements in the industry quite publicly.
Yes the title is click baity, but that is par of the course these days.
