That tends to happen when your IT team is a cost center, they had no resources on standby.
Now you pay AWS anywhere from 5-11x more for an instance, but you still have an ops team managing it (by some name).
If you had given even 20% of that investment to the sysadmins you would have had an equivalent system.
AWS just weaponised this short-sighted thinking that was killing ops teams.

- dijit 2y agoThat’s certainly an opinion. From what I recall it was AWS developers trying to solve object storage, and EC2 came later. Not about ops.
