What might have been the reasoning behind doing something like that?
- tunap 8y agoI imagine simple ignorance, short-sighted savings or someone(project manager/accountant/consultant) "knew better" than the professionals. It happens all the time, this was one of the more egregious "disruptions" of late.
- captain_perl 8y agoFrom what I've heard and read: 1) AWS came up with their AZ layout (small nearby buildings) to avoid needing industrial-scale power and cooling gear. 2) Industrial electricians despise working with web startups because they ask stupid questions like, "can we failover the megawatt bus bars periodically?". Those are intended for emergency failovers annually, not like some kind of API you call repeatedly.
