I scaled my SaaS pretty far with no sysadmin nor Devops, nor any plans to acquire either. I know enough to setup some cloud servers, but I’m not qualified to manage barebones Linux at scale. The hacker news go rent a Hertzer trope is rather tired. If it was better, why aren’t more people picking it?
- vasco 5y agoThe type of people that colocate or generally avoid the cloud for cost reasons in my experience don't overlap a lot with the "I write blog posts about everything I do" crowd.
- noogle 5y agoBecause often someone else is paying for it (organization/investor/government) or the money cannot be used for something else. Another common reason is as a way to circumvent internal politics. In my experience, whenever someone actually had to "foot the bill" for the AWS premium, your argument that the cloud is cheaper overall came under a very heavy scrutiny, including justifying those extra "9s" that increase administration effort.
