- scrollaway 11y agoThat can happen as well of course. Like I said, not everything is a nail. Sometimes AWS is the wrong choice, sometimes it's the right choice. However a lot of people jump on AWS when they really should not.
- eric_h 11y agoAgreed. We've got a moderately complex stack and on Linode the noisy neighbors problem caused us to require bigger boxes for certain layers than should really have been necessary. Honestly OpsWorks on AWS has been a fucking dream from an ops perspective - we've been able to fully automate basically everything. My only complaint about AWS is RDS: in order to squeeze maximum performance out of a database, you need to pay for IOPS, and boy do you pay. Fortunately, we only need a massive database instance a few weeks out of the year (our industry has some massive seasonal spikes), so it's not so bad.
