As a small-timer I don't think I'll ever cloud up. Managing a few servers isn't too bad, is easy to maintain (from both a developer and "dev-ops" standpoint).The cloud abstractions would have been great before Ubuntu's LTS 8-10 year schedule, Nginx and Systemd. But now it's just so simple using those and my existing architecture to launch new web services.
- EdwardDiego 7y agoYeah, going into the cloud has great benefits that cost a shit ton. We're migrating from a traditional DC into AWS because a) our current DC provider makes stupid mistakes that impact us severely and b) it's pretty easy to spin up the same K8s cluster in two availability zones to ensure we're (very nearly) always up. Stupid mistakes list - "Oops, one of the disks in a machine in your Couchbase cluster had to be replaced, and we replaced the wrong one!" "Oops, we lost your machine. It's responding to pings, but we can't find it, so we're going to have to go through the DC pulling plugs to figure out where it is" "Oops, our sys-admin accidentally deleted your OpenStack deployment because he was testing something in the wrong window." And this is the best DC we've managed to find in Europe over 12 years of operating there. Going into AWS will nearly double our infrastructure costs, but our business is willing to pay for it for the reliability factor. No point having a self-healing k8s cluster if the underlying machines disappear because someone typed a command in the wrong window.
