- ishener 13y agofrom the downvotes i gather i may not ask...
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoProbably due to the fact that you levelled an unqualified, unsubtantiated claim that AWS is better than any alternative
- viraptor 13y agoThat's not what he said. There's nothing about AWS being better than alternatives to AWS. > "a more reliable hosting, like AWS"
- staz 13y agoAlso because if you had RTFA you would have already known it's not on AWS

- thejosh 13y ago>if not, why don't you move to a more reliable hosting, like AWS? Ah yes, because AWS has worked out so well for the reddit folk. :-)
- meddlepal 13y agoReddit is also a couple orders more active than HN. Also I thought Reddit's AWS issues were resolved years ago.
- hbags 13y agowhy don't you move to a more reliable hosting, like AWS? As a fairly heavy ($x00,000/month) user of AWS, this is the funnniest and most-misguided thing I've read in a long time. AWS is horrible. It's extraordinarily bad, with all sorts of insanely complex failure modes to account for. There are some reasons to consider using it, but reliability is most definitely NOT amongst them.
- beachstartup 13y agoi agree. we have taken customers from $x0,000/month AWS footprints to $x,000 month managed hardware footprints. an order of magnitude. aws is a lot of things, but cheap and reliable aren't on that list.
- kalleboo 13y agoWhat makes you think AWS is more reliable?
- rdl 13y agosoftlayer. which is generally much more robust (physical hw) vs. AWS.
