As an addendum to this: if you absolutely must use cloud, stick with AWS. Using Azure is (IMO) a fucking miserable experience and their only advantage (InfiniBand) is better served by buying your own hardware. GCP and OCI might be fine if you are getting a lot of credits, but the skills will not be useful down the line - while AWS is expensive, you will at least learn a bunch of in-demand operational skills.

- earleybird 4y agoDang it all, we had 20+ teletypes hanging off a 32Kb PDP-8 (with DECTape for random access storage), "and we liked it!" :-)
- smartbit 4y ago> you will at least learn a bunch of in-demand operational skills. Are you saying we should stick with AWS because most stick with AWS? My personal experience with GKE/GCP was quite good, except as expected for their support.
- SpaceMartini 4y ago> Are you saying we should stick with AWS because most stick with AWS? Broadly speaking yes - there is a lot of value in having a deeper pool of skilled people to hire from, and there are enough differences between cloud offerings to knock at least a couple of "effective years" of experience off someone who changes provider.
