Amusing is a good description.
"Hardware degradation detected, please turn it off and back on again"
I could do a migration with zero downtime in VMware for a decade but they can't seamlessly move my VM to a machine that works in 2024? Great, thanks. Amusing.
- bombcar 3y agoI have always been incredibly saddened that apparently the cloud providers usually have nothing as advanced as old VMware was.
- wmf 3y agoCloud providers have live migration now but I guess they don't want to guarantee anything.
- bombcar 3y agoIt's better (and better still with other providers) but I naively thought that "add more RAM" or "add more disk" was something they would be able to do with a reboot at most. Nope, some require a full backup and restore.
- wmf 3y agoResizing VMs doesn't really fit the "cattle" thinking of public cloud, although IMO that was kind of a premature optimization. This would be a perfect use case for live migration.
