AWS really does have an easier time than old school datacenter providers. I guess the complexity is higher but it's shocking that they can charge so much yet we hold them to a lower standard.
- gtirloni 3y agoDCs are pretty static and offer way fewer services than AWS or any other public cloud. I worked for one for some time and whenever we had issues, some people would call and ask if we were going bankrupt. It gave me a feeling they also have way smaller customers that might not understand the underlying stack.
- aeyes 3y agoIf all you use in AWS is static EC2 instances you would have to go back a looooong time to find an outage which affected their availability. Even in us-east-1.
- TonyCoffman 3y agoDecember 22, 2021 was the last partial impact we had in us-east-1 for EC2 instances. They had power issues in USE1-AZ4 that took a while to sort out.
- nostrebored 3y agoOutage rates are also wildly different. When you're using dozens of managed services and have a few prod-impacting outages with any reasonable (cross-AZ) design, customers are less sensitive then when they are dependent on dozens of products that hav independent failure modes with potentially cascading impact.
