Right, which is exactly why people pay extra for cloud managed services.
If things are going “horribly wrong” every couple of months then you must necessarily be on call 24/7 and never take vacation or time away. In practice, you need at least two people to manage on-call coverage so you’re not completely uncovered if someone gets sick, decides to take vacation, wants to travel away from a computer and so on.
- southerntofu 5y agoWe're talking volunteer-run projects, though. Who cares if it's not available 24/7? Best-effort is good enough. Those managed cloud services also fail often, you just have no information and no recourse about it.
- rndgermandude 5y agoThings go horribly wrong with AWS hosted stuff as well. And a lot of companies have a single-point-of-failure AWS person. While you're not wrong in general, nothing you just wrote is specific to running on dedicated servers vs AWS.
