It's funny, i've got the exact opposite reasoning : it's those moments where i can really appreciate the fact that i'm using the cloud :
1/ I don't have to spend the night debugging or replacing broken hardware
2/ It doesn't cost me any time, any additional resource, any support upgrade, any hardware.
3/ No one can blame me or anybody in my team for the fact that it's not working.
I don't feel like i'm lacking control, i feel like somebody else is taking care of that really annoying shit that happens all the time, no matter how well you design your system.

- modoc 14y agoIf you have paying clients, they WILL blame you and your team for the fact it's not working. They don't care who/what the underlying infrastructure is. Also a good hosting company will handle identifying/fixing/replacing bad hardware for you.
- calinet6 14y agoNot to mention sufficient redundancy will ensure that you never see many effects from those hardware failures/power outages/floods/fires/anything else with any reasonable probability. "The cloud is great because I can blame someone else" is obviously a tenuous argument.
