He's talking about building the underlying failover mechanism for CosmoDB. For a customer it's easy and automatic, but GCP and AWS and Azure have to build it first.
- rad_gruchalski 8y agoBut months?
- manigandham 8y agoTo build a globally distributed database offering as complex as Cosmos DB with multiple SLA requirements? Can you build it faster?
- suff 8y agoSurely you're referring to Microsoft's team's time to implement failover to the product offering, not time every customer spends on implementation??? FTA: "if _you_ are an engineer working on a small thing, say datacenter automatic failover component" (emphasis added). Pretty sure he's talking about EVERY customer spending months to turn on fail-over.
- samdixon 8y agoThe previous poster is correct, I think you are mistaken. It should read like this: "if you are an engineer at Microsoft working on a small azure component, say datacenter automatic failover component" At least this is how I read it since the OP works at MS it appears.
