Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions
DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 1 day agoThe problem is far more pervasive than any single incident, allowing a single megacorporation to control most of the Internet is a bad idea for many reasons.

Agreed, but other cloud providers exist and it would be good if there was stronger competition in this space. But going back to self hosting is a huge step back and I think if a CTO said they were going to move from the cloud back to a self hosted solution, pretty much everyone would hate it.

There are still self hosted places today, not everything is cloud based.
Also, there isn't more competition largely because of Amazon so, while I agree with the sentiment that it could improve things, in practice it's a moot point.
