- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI think all the western cloud providers work like this; e.g. Azure in China. It isn't really that they can't get a license, but getting a license requires a certain amount of exposure to Chinese law that many western companies can't take on.
- matthewrudy 10y agoI guess that's true. But it wasn't something we'd considered properly. Gives us more of a reason to move to a Chinese provider for our CN servers. (This is now simpler as we're standardizing on Kubernetes for deployments, so Kubernetes on AWS.cn vs Kubernetes on Aliyun should be equivalent)
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoThe idea is that the technology is constant at least. Also, tech support often goes along with it.
