No one ever got fired buying IBM, err... AWS

    I have literally seen this happen. Non-technical management demand forklifting everything into the cloud because "global availability" and "no more wasted time with in house data centers.". Company hit a cash hole due other issues they could have survived if they weren't staring down a monster AWS bill.
