It's more about:
- Flexible scaling.
- Using other existing services from the cloud provider.
- Not needing to manage any hardware. (Or to hire someone to manage the hardware for you).
- Running your things in a data center. (Well connected, reasonable fault tolerant.)
- Less upfront operational cost (you are not required to pay for expensive hardware upfront).
For larger companies, especially such with massive amounts of micro-services it all about the flexible scaling and not needing to manage hardware.
- tjoff 6y ago- usually not even needed on real hardware. Focus on a sound architecture (which will reward you in everything you do). But depending on situation VMs are an excellent choice and it is easy to spin up more - that is an antifeature - seems trivial compared to keeping up with all the cloud gotchas - possible anyway - sure, but you probably don't need expensive hardware to start, or go with VMs
- andialo 6y agoTry this one: - AWS (and other cloud providers') kickbacks
- tjoff 6y agoNot sure what that is? Sounds like a convoluted, time consuming scheme designed to further lock you in with the promise to recoup a fraction of AWS the tax?
- andialo 6y agoJust making a fun of the fact that kickbacks paid by amazon to top management surely pay a big role why corps choose AWS.
