Fair point. Still, based on my anecdotal experience using leased dedicated servers, mistakes at that networking layer seem to happen less often than mistakes that take AWS us-east-1 or one of the big CDNs offline.
- rtpg 4y agoIt does feel like more "hosted" environments are trying to do more fancy stuff inside the network, so have more failure cases. Or perhaps services that do a lot of things, even if you end up just using simple server components. I still have a fun memory of half of IBM Cloud's servers falling over, meaning that our production app was luckily still up but our staging server fell over. I could get to their website, but their login stuff was all messed up. I believe that one was also a "routing stuff got messed up" issue....
