From a developer perspective, I prefer to work with cloud providers because I can do more with fewer developers because I'm not dealing with sysadmins too. I can throw up a EMR cluster with minimal effort and get a working product out the door quickly.
These things don't matter for large, established companies because they already have DevOps, SysAdmin, and Development teams. But for smaller dev shops, it absolutely makes a difference when you can generate a good bit more efficiency from your development staff.
- datavirtue 7y agoUh...some of the biggest spenders (wasters) are big companies. Divisions get completely fed up working through thier enormous shared infrastructure org and use the cloud to go around it. The provisioning overhead is enormous for on prem so I get it but it is short-sighted. Eventually you will end up with the same problem in the cloud though once enough applications are deployed there. What's worse is that these places are getting stuck on specific providers like AWS because they are not thinking in terms of cloud but in terms of AWS or Azure or Google. Another massive mistake we are all going to watch unfold and reverse over a twenty year period.
