Hope unjustified. AWS can build low level solutions -- EC2, EBS, S3. High level stuff is garbage.

- gonzo41 2y agoEveryone's and I mean everyone's high level stuff is garbage. Remember when Lotus Notes was the peak. The only thing constant is change etc.
- grobbyy 2y agoAmazon has a uniquely large spread, in that case. I use S3, EC2, Route 53, and RDS. That's more or less it. I advise others to do likewise. Not the same set, mind you, but the same mindset.
- paulddraper 2y agoGitHub is good, yes? And Excel? And Notion? And Datadog? Lots of companies with excellent user friendly products. GCP is good in that regard too, minus IAM.
- ptdorf 2y ago> GCP is good in that regard too, minus IAM. Care to elaborate why? IMO, GCP's IAM is years ahead of say AWS.
- robohoe 2y agoI second that. It's honestly simple. You assign roles (bundling of individual API call permissions) to cloud identities to resources.
- paulddraper 2y agoI don't think GCP IAM is approachable to the degree that it's other services are. (Better than AWS? Sure.) A hundreds different "Admin" roles, a bunch of OAuth client stuff, other weird settings. It's a fundamentally hard problem, but I don't think GCP solved it in an approachable/user-friendly way, which is the topic.
- thinkindie 2y agoUser friendliness is not AWS moat. Anything that is facing a larger audience other than those that have regular access to their tooling (either cli or UI) is far from being ready for large adoption.
