Not a bad analogy, but the taxi also comes with a driver, which makes it expensive but allows you to get work done in the back while you're en route. It'd be like a cloud provider that came with a devops person dedicated to you.
- dilyevsky 6y agoExcept when driver decides to take couple days off and you can’t get anywhere or their cars breaks down for a day and they say it’s still within slo because the radio still worked (looking at you GCP)
- ehsankia 6y agoExcept in this analogy, a taxi breaking can be quickly replaced with another taxi, the issue is when the whole taxi network goes down which is more rare. If you had your own car, if the machine went down, it would be a lot more work to fix it yourself.
- dilyevsky 6y agoTrue but i can buy more cars/parts and still save money. Also it’s only rare if you judge by status page
- dec0dedab0de 6y agoSure, but if you are using the taxi often enough it may be cheaper to higher a full time driver.
