I worked on a web application that provided by a FANG-like global corporation that is a household name and used by millions of users every day, and which can and did made the news rounds if it experiences issues. It is a high-availability multi-region deployment spread about a dozen independent AWS accounts and managed around the clock by multiple teams.
Please tell me more how I "never actually ended up with a big AWS estate."
I love how people like you try to shoot down arguments with appeals to authority when you are this clueless about the topic and are this oblivious regarding everyone else's experience.
- baz00 3y agoHey me too.
- dijit 3y agoHrm. I have worked for a global corporation that you have almost certainly heard of. Though it's not super sexy. The parent you're replying to resonates with me. A lot of politics about how you spend and how you commit, it's almost as bad as the commitment terms for bare-metal providers (3,6,12,24month commits). Except the base-load is more expensive. It depends a lot on your load, but for my workloads (which, is fragile dumb but very vertical compute with a wide geographic dispersion), the cost is so high that a few dozen thousand has been missed numerous times, despite having in-house "fin-ops" folks casting their gaze upon our spend.
