Old man yells at cloud.
- RantyDave 7y agoYes, exactly. We still have giant and obsessively maintained rigs, they're just made from ten thousand cores of x86.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoTo be fair to the old man, the cloud does appear to have a lot of problems. Parts of AWS are down right now, as I understand it.
- outworlder 7y ago> Parts of AWS are down right now, as I understand it. I haven't heard about this, production looks fine. Even if that's the case: the key point being "parts". A meteor can blow up a whole AWS datacenter, and your production systems should still survive. There may be a blip while capacity is provisioned. If you _really_ want to be safe and invest the engineering resources, you can deploy across regions. Or even clouds. Try that with a mainframe.
