New headcount to support all this
No thanks , I have widgets to make and sell and a business to run.
- monocasa 3y agoIt's meant for orgs running at a certain scale, but you'd be surprised how early that starts making sense. AWS isn't exactly paying the economy of scale savings on to you.
- la64710 3y agoTrue but at for companies operating at scale they not only operate on AWS but on other cloud providers as well as legacy data centers … but business wise it’s a hard sell , it may sell for couple of cycles to build a new dc or use an existing ones but then it will be back to the cloud again for many more cycles.
- monocasa 3y agoI've found that the scale these start making sense is only a handful of racks. We're not talking full DCs, but a room in a building or some colo space. And beyond that, there's all sorts of weird environments that need a lot of local compute. You'd be shocked how many servers are on a cruise ship for one example among many.
