like linux, cloud is a lot to learn, but worth it. it adds capabilities you didn’t have before. like linux, cloud is best kept simple, or it can become brittle and confusing. like linux, cloud has a lot of cool things, think zfs, that should be appreciated but not used. like linux, using go makes your life easier. the aws go sdk is the documentation. like linux, you have to learn a lot and then find the core utility you actually care about. for me it is: https://github.com/nathants/libaws https://github.com/nathants/libaws like linux, cloud is very stable. focus on core utility. would it be better if cloud wasn't the massive union of all customers needs with a bias toward large customers? sure. the good news is some subset of those needs are actually core utility, well implemented, and stable.
