Want to learn great infrastructure management tips? Read and digest these post-mortems.... Regardless of who the provider is.
There is always one takeaway from these that I can use to better my own infrastructure management activities - even when most of my infrastructure runs on AWS. :)
- 23david 14y agoWouldn't it be a better idea to learn from a provider that isn't constantly screwing things up? Amazon's systems clearly aren't working reliably. If Amazon can have an issue of this severity in ELB, one of their core core services, during peak traffic season for their #1 highest profile customer, every one of their services should be viewed with suspicion and you really need to have non-amazon backup systems in place in case they have an incident that affects you. Yes it is painful to leave the comfortable aws womb, but it's time to grow up and start either managing multiple infrastructure providers or build your own.
