I agree with you. I think that having multi-AZ is the first thing to figure out before wanting to do multi-cloud, which is just another buzzword taken out of management's bullshit bucket :)
- Hippocrates 5y agoAgree, and multi AZ is usually easy. IME with AWS and GCP the control plane is the same, the scaling works across AZ, bandwidth is free and latency is near zero. The level of effort to do that is simply ticking the right boxes at setup time IME.
- Jweb_Guru 5y agoCross-AZ bandwidth is far from free and the biggest reason companies avoid it (IMO). Also latency is not near zero but I don't think that's the primary reason.
- mongrelion 5y agoThat's true. The moment your data leaves the region you start paying for egress and that can get expensive quickly. Still beats the crap out of multicloud, though :)
- jtc331 5y agoI’ve seen at least half a dozen full region AWS issues in the past 8 months. You really need multi-region and also not be relying on any AWS service that’s located only in us-east-1 (including everything from creating new S3 buckets to IAM’s STS).
