shalafi@lemmy.world 20 hours agoNo shit. I was DevOps at my last company and they were all in on AWS. In those 5 years we had one major outage. There was one other case of a particular service going down, forgot which one, but it mainly screwed DevOps and the db guys.
You’re talking to a bunch of young people who hate Bezos and by extension AWS. They have no idea what the internet was like before.
Personally I think the cost is outrageous, rather have my own hardware mirrored in geographically distant colos, but that doesn’t mean AWS isn’t amazing.

The problem is not that any outage occurred. This still happens often. Things just refuse to work sometimes. The issue is that SO MANY eggs were in ONE basket.
