- petesergeant 5mo agoI would absolutely fire someone for using Azure without extenuating circumstances.
- hdgvhicv 5mo agoAre you the CTO of a $1b+ revenue company?
- petesergeant 5mo agoAre they the only people allowed to fire someone?
- IMTDb 5mo agoWhat GP meant is that the CTO of a $1b company wold absolutely not fire someone for going Azure because at those scale it's very likely they have a set of customers that exclusively want to work on Azure, so that choice makes sense. It's easy to do blanket statements like "never choose azure", "avoid GCP at all cost" or "never again on AWS". Until real world comes your way and you are forced to deal with it. That being said: I'd fire anyone choosing to deploy a workload on GCP.
- mitchitized 5mo agoAnother reality is that at that scale you need to diversify your vendor portfolio so you never get stuck in a single-vendor scenario (for contracts, liability or scale). Many companies half this size have infrastructure across all three - AWS, Azure and GCP. The primary reason is redundancy, but that also gives them potential leverage for contract negotiation.
