Oracle cloud unit employees told to prepare for 24/7 work
- voidfunc 5y agoThis sounds a lot worse than it actually is… if you have worked at one if the major cloud operations (azure, aws, or gcp) this is nothing. We are 24/7 orgs by definition, work is happening globally, we have on-call etc, region turn ups or disaster drills in inconvenient timezones. This is what it is at the cloud IaaS level.
- mathverse 5y agoWould not it be cheaper to implement follow the sun model and have engineers in different timezones?
- bradknowles 5y agoIMO, you’re not a cloud PaaS if you’re not 24x7. The fact that Oracle cloud wasn’t already 24x7 tells me that they never really were a cloud PaaS, and probably still aren’t.
- jpalomaki 5y agoThis seems to refer to new development and deployment of new regions - not standard operations work. "Region bootstrap, across regions, will need to happen on a 24x7 basis in order to hit our delivery dates. All teams will need to resource appropriately to accommodate this expectation,"
