But I can do everything I need in one system with AWS.
- speedgoose 5y agoYes, many people find value in being locked down with a single cloud provider. It can make sense, but sometimes you don't need the AWS ecosystem and just need an online server.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoIf you’re testing software on an M1, what is the benefit of AWS?
- ithkuil 5y agoPerhaps you have other stuff on AWS, in a VPC, that is administered by an operations team which is several tickets away from you and/or you have to talk with seven layers of management before you convince anybody that a VPN peering with a cloud provider may be cheaper than the hours you just wasted with expensive meetings just used to discuss the possibility of setting up a VPN peering let alone actually executing it and maintaining it... Yeah, many companies will gladly pay an inflated per instance price as long as every else flows smoothly
- Nextgrid 5y agoI'm assuming there are no data transfer fees. If your M1 workload needs significant data, that alone could make it cheaper than having a cheaper external M1 and then paying every time you move data out of AWS into it.
