“Someone else’s problem”
That’s what you’re paying for on any cloud provider. Any hardware problem isn’t your problem and it (should be) abstracted away.
- txcwpalpha 6y agoThat's true for hardware that's actually "in the cloud" (aka at an AWS data center) where a hardware failure simply results in your workload automatically shifting to other hardware. But if a Snowcone breaks on you, it still certainly is your problem, because you're the one that now has a physical brick in your office and you need to find a replacement hardware for whatever you were previously using Snowcone for.
