- ericlewis 3y agoXcode cloud isn’t running on Apple silicon, arguably a place where it would make tons of sense.
- jbverschoor 3y agoThat does not make any sense
- saagarjha 3y agoidk running a Hackintosh is kind of strange no
- pjmlp 3y agoSo how do you think they are running those unit tests for iDevices APIs, VMs?
- ein0p 3y agoIt’s not at all a given that this would be profitable. Apple is not paying the same prices for AWS/GCP that mere mortals do.
- jbverschoor 3y agoWell they’re paying minimum 30 mil per month until this year
- ein0p 3y agoI think it’s a heck of a lot more than that. 30 million seems puny compared to the revenue their services businesses generates. Though to be fair much of it probably doesn’t run on public clouds.
- jbverschoor 3y agoFrom what I understood is that everything runs on public clouds. They tried Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Sooo they should have enough experience by now. The contract was 1.5B over 5 years
- refulgentis 3y agoSourcing here is 2019 article about just one AWS contract. Apple also uses Google Cloud and Azure extensively, not just tryouts, they were one of Google Cloud's biggest customers. They are also building their own data centers. (TL;DR it's much more complicated than these comments would indicate at their face)
