- citrin_ru 8mo agoA large multinational corporation can go a long way by splitting they IT infra into multiple regions and doing maintenance in different regions at different time.
- mystifyingpoi 8mo agoExactly, that's how you do it. Having one system for the whole world is risky.
- agnivade 8mo agoThis idea sounds nice, but there's a high maintenance cost to this. - How will you maintain multiple deployments across multiple regions in the world? Backups, security patches will start to take a toll. - How granular is the right split? Not every country has a cloud provider. Then you need to start thinking about regions and office timings and then it starts to get all blurry.

Backups, security patches will start to take a toll The same way as always - by automating the crap out of it. > How granular is the right split? Not every country has a cloud provider. Doesn't have to be one deployment for one country, does it? Having like 3 or 4 deployments across the globe already gives you (at least) 3-4 hours of inactivity window, let's say 1 am - 4 am or something.
