Comment on Load bearing Tupperware
1984@lemmy.today 22 hours agoCompanies need hell of a lot more then virtual machines today. I dont use it personally either but would i recommend a company to buy their own hardware? No. I would say they should use AWS because they can afford it and it gives them access to hundreds of services. Its rare to see technical issues.
The value for a company is actually enormous, to have something like that at their fingertips.

Who says companies need to buy their own hardware?
We have datacenters for that, you rent the hardware one way or the other.
I’m saying that nobody should put all their eggs in one basket because if that basket breaks, you’re all fucked.
If you have the need for high availability then you don’t out all your servers in a single datacenter, or with a single provider
If everyone and their mother is with one provider, you’ll first notice that said provider gets expensive pretty quick and you’ll also notice that when shit goes down that half the fucking internet follows.
My services weren’t down, and never have been. I don’t use AWS, because I don’t need it
