Topic	aws having issues has crippled my entire town.
Dikitain 12/07/21 10:08:23 PM #6:	jiffdiff posted... Dumb take. AWS likely has far more robust redundancy than any on-prem solution that guy's town would be able to implement on their own. The lesson they should learn from this is to operate cross-cloud, so set things up in AWS as well as GCP/AZURE/etc... The worst lesson would be to go back to everything on prem. And yet no one is going to do that because of how difficult/expensive it is to develop cross-cloud. Most of these platforms (AWS included) pride themselves on redundancy yet they still have an obvious single point of failure as shown by what has happened. That goes down, shit hits the fan. And that is not even going into the fact that you need to train multiple engineers to even use them. An AWS certification takes one person hundreds of hours before they are even considered half-way compitent. Now add to that the other cloud systems they need to be certified for and those on-site solutions are looking a hell of a lot cheaper. I am not saying that everything should go back to on-site servers (or even the traditional way of having servers in multiple locations separate from your home that you can fall back to at any time), but people also need to understand that cloud isn't the end-all-be-all when it comes to this stuff. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... <cite>Dikitain posted [p:960716640] in aws having... [t:79799491]...</cite> <quote>jiffdiff posted... </cite> <quote>Dumb take.
