I mean, I know all that now; it's what kicked off my descent into the politics and ideologies I hold near and dear to me now, and revitalized my interest in technology as a means of helping humans instead of amplifying Capital.
My point was, financially and logically, it made (makes) no sense. It's penny-wise and pound foolish, given how (relatively) inexpensive a VMware, Xen, or Hyper-V admin is nowadays compared to anyone with AWS, Azure, or GCP credentials.
- mistrial9 1y agoyes I agree, more than I can say in a short post
- mlinhares 1y agoChina is proof of that with their own universe of cloud services, there's no reason Europe can't be competitive the same way, the talent is there, it needs capital and government push.
- tonyhart7 1y agoChina is one huge economy that centrally planned + strive for sustainable themselves is not easy to achieve for EU
- slaw 1y agoChina software industry is 10 times size of Europe. It is easier when you are big.
- disgruntledphd2 1y agoIt is now, yes. Would it be if the great firewall didn't exist, though?
- mlinhares 1y agoStill best for them if they develop their own industry.
- znpy 1y ago> My point was, financially and logically, it made (makes) no sense. You don't know, but you proved your customer's point, unwillingly. The thing is, your logic is flawed because it's (incredibly) shortsighted. > VMware, Xen, or Hyper-V admin Those three things essentially do the same thing, yet they're completely different beasts. You have to look for people knowledgeable on that specific product, and you might not find them. When dealing with AWS EC2 instances? A lot more people with standardized competencies. For companies it's just great because they can hire from a much larger pool of candidates. It's great for workers too, because they can pick my skills and go work at another company where I'll be immediately productive, meaning they'll have a much smoother onboarding process (learning the business domain rather than fighting the technology).
- watermelon0 1y agoSame applies for clouds, each is a completely different beast. You have AWS EC2, GCE, Azure VM, and others. The main difference between cloud vs on-prem/colo/dedicated is that you need SRE/DevOps for the first, and sysadmins for the second.
- immibis 1y ago> VMware, Xen, or Hyper-V admin What happened to the idea of just running a program on a machine? Or Kubernetes. Everyone loves Kubernetes, why not use it?
