What indeed is bad taste is your choice of Google Cloud over AWS. No I really like GCP, use it at core of many apps, but if people really want a decentralized web we need to use more than one provider. Don't "convert". Use booth, redundancy ffs.
- adjkant 10y agoWhat's the point of decentralizing by putting 50% on one, 50% on the other, and no overlap of the groups? You used the word redundancy, but who is willing to actually do that true redundancy?
- kiallmacinnes 10y agoPity I can't upvote more than once! :) This whole idea of being angry at a vendor for deprecating something with 1yr notice is just ridiculous! People need to realize they are choosing lock-in, and are choosing the risk of deprecation every time they decide to use a cloud service with no drop in competition/open source/etc. Own your choices people, don't blame others...
- unclebucknasty 10y agoSounds great on paper, but this is infrastructure level stuff with real world constraints. The expectation of stability beyond a year is certainly not unreasonable when you're asking people to build their businesses/infrastructure on your platform. And, building redundancy across providers can be impractical, owed to learning curve, cost duplication, higher outbound bandwidth costs, effort duplication, solution complexity, etc.
