It doesn't matter when there's an entire amazon staff keeping it running.
- estimator7292 10mo agoI think you know as well as I do that it very much does matter. Even if you have an army of engineers around to fix things when they break, things still break.
- Spivak 10mo agoI think the point is that for Amazon it's their own code and they pay full time staff to be familiar with the codebase, make improvements, and fix bugs. OpenStack is a product. The people deploying it are expected to be knowledgeable about it as users / "system integrators" but not developers. So when the abstraction leaks, and for OpenStack the pipe has all but burst, it becomes a mess. It's not expected that they'll be digging around in the internals and have 5 other projects to work on.
