In my experience this is mix of lack of knowledge sometimes mixed with self-dealing/corruption.
But it can be prevented by writing hosting specs well. If in your proposed solution you specify really detailed hosting envinronment then most of these old incopetent companies wont even apply.
- elric 2y agoUnfortunately, the way my governments have dealt with the issue is by writing one very large tender, from which a Hosting Framework Agreement is derived. Individual projects have no say in it, and they're certainly not consulted when the agreements are drafted. So basically they're stuck with whatever is on offer, which isn't much. A choice example was a hosted K8S solution: it was supposed to be highly available, but the framework agreement only specified 2 datacentre locations. The hosting provider thus couldn't build a reliable stretched cluster, and instead built two identical clusters. Forcing every project to figure out how to deploy their applications in a HA fashion on top of two clusters. Much fun. Not a giant waste of resources at all. /s
