- moe 15y agoSure, within the boundaries of your disk array. Assuming a non-trivial size you'll need 1-2 fulltime people to run and scale that array, plus a nice chunk of investment into hardware. EBS is just a mouse-click.
- count 15y agoIf you are so unconcerned with your storage that you're just mouse clicking around EBS setups, you don't' need 1-2 full-time people to run an array.
- moe 15y agoSounds like you've never dealt with storage at scale. It's far from "rack and forget" once you've grow beyond 2 racks.
- count 15y agoI think you read the opposite of what I was trying to say. I have dealt with storage 'at scale' enough to require a full team of storage people. Some guy clicking buttons on the Amazon website is usually not a very effective way of dealing with storage 'at scale'.
- moe 15y agoYes, sorry for reading you backwards. However I maintain that EBS has it's place in a wide range of applications where raw I/O performance isn't the main concern (e.g. archival).
