It's a lot easier to remove yourself from the critical path if your cache has problems than it is to add the caching after the fact when a third party is having problems, though.
- hnlmorg 5y agoExactly this! You plan for failure. What happens if your cache fails? You fall back to Microsoft. But what happens if Microsoft fails and you don't have a cache? Well you build a cache in advance and default to that. Caches can also improve build time, allow for security tools to scan, and other such benefits too. So there are other benefits outside of creating a redundancy.
- coredog64 5y agoWe do local caching, and it’s caused more outages, downtime, headaches and lost productivity than I can count. Although the hardware requirement is minimal, all that other stuff makes it expensive. So run a risk calculation for your own use case.
