I don't see them as equivalent at all. DO serves a completely different market that doesn't need large deployments. I can't imagine trying to do some of what we do without not just EC2 but all the other APIs Amazon offers.
- aquadrop 13y agoYes, but all that features like S3, ELB, RedShift etc. are just a software layer based on their top-notch hardware infrastructure. And fro the original article: 'The cost of delivering a service at scale is all in the infrastructure. The software engineering costs “round to zero,” Hamilton said'
