Comment on Huge internet outage live blog: Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and more experiencing issues
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 hours agoThere is a chrome addon that will “block” anything from AWS with the goal being you get to see how much of the world relies on it.
I’m starting to understand why some companies are starting to exit AWS and back to their own data centers.
AWS doesn’t go down that often to impact such decisions I wouldn’t think… I think it’s more likely that these companies calculated that AWS isn’t worth the price for their workloads?
I’ve been at several companies where just a day’s worth of their AWS costs would be able to finance significantly stronger compute/storage, in addition to an administration team for all that. (Of course it’s not that simple, but you get what I mean)
You pay a premium for the privilege of blaming someone else when the servers go down.

That’s the ebb and flow of IT hosting / support.
On prem -> off prem -> on prem -> off prem
Same goes for off shore workers. Back and forth back and forth
Every company I’ve ever worked for has had that flip flop. :/
