From an environmental perspective, it is completely retarded I would say.
I don't get why people like Amazon, none of their services are any good. Although to be fair, Amazon (the retail) doesn't exist in my country.
- deanCommie 10y ago> none of their services are any good Care to back that statement up? :) (no argument on the environmentally subpar approach to the button)
- staticelf 10y agoWell, it's a subjective statement as it is my opinion. But for me as a Swede: * The closest retail in Amazon is in GB or Germany, orders takes weeks to reach me which is a mystery since I've ordered stuff from Germany before and they usual deliver within a week. * Closest AWS datacenter is in Ireland, latency is high for nordic countries. * Their documentation is very confusing, you can read all about their web services without understanding one. Leading to sites like this: https://www.expeditedssl.com/aws-in-plain-english https://www.expeditedssl.com/aws-in-plain-english But sure, their services works and is probably good for many, but I've never found them any useful at all.
- eterm 10y agoIsn't there an AWS Amsterdam datacenter which would be better latency?
- icebraining 10y agoFrankfurt, but latency doesn't always correlate directly with physical distance.
- arviewer 10y agoTry Frankfurt. It may have better latency for you, even if it's further away.
- mahyarm 10y agoAWS is a pretty popular service ;) Amazon cloud drive is fairly performant and a good price. I use it as a backup repo. Amazon prime shipping is also pretty great and the prices are pretty decent usually. They're also the biggest cross platform ebook vendor with the most selection.
