ha ha ha no. Have been dealing with kernel issues on my AWS machines for a long time. They lock up under certain kinds of high load. AWS support is useless. Experimenting with kernel version leads to performance regressions.
AWS is great if your IT/purchasing department is inefficient. Getting a new AWS machine is instant, compared to getting purchasing to approve new machine and IT allocating it to you. But all the low-level stuff is still there.

- san1t1 1y agoI think the conversation has turned from "Can we spend more?" to "Can you please try and spend less?"
- theamk 1y ago"Can you please try and spend less?" "Sure, we can get some on-prem machines. They'll pay for themselves in 6 months. I just need permissions from Finance to spend some CAPEX, and get IT and Facilities to cooperate" "Ugh, actually please keep using AWS. But try and spend less.. if you can and this does not compromise deadlines"
