If you do not design your cloud resources to be vendor-independent, that’s on you. You absolutely need the ability to cross vendors in short order, whatever stack you’re running.
- yuppie_scum 5y agoThis is easy for the Monday morning armchair QB to say, but the fact of the matter is that most SMBs are not in a position to run multi cloud. Legacy pre container pre kube workloads (tech debt) exist, as do persistent data stores that are too large to replicate between clouds without racking up massive transfer costs. Not even getting into vendor lock-in around networking or things like dynamo or serverless. “Well just move all your stuff to Kube then!” Ok fine, mr CTO, I’ll do it but I’ll need about 3 engineers at 175k and budget a couple mil more in Op Ex. the reality of the matter is that most of us will just gear for MTTR and hope that Amazon takes some lessons from the incident.
