Updating a status page, sure. They aren't going to say "JamesBondService is having issues because a bug was deployed", but they usually don't repeat the same message 3 times in the same minute and they are usually pretty

Looks like they are having trouble updating their statuses. 19008 was supposed to be updated over an hour ago. Meanwhile, 19009 has the same comment posted three times. I'm guessing internal tools are barely working at best.

That's great, but what does that have to do with the Canadian healthcare system waits?

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, that's a much better characterization of it.

IMO the best "counterargument" here is that those were jobs which paid folks who then paid into their local economy. That goes away with robots and becomes more revenue. Lots of folks are in favor of a "automation tax."

Probably not. They probably know when most of their certs schedule but likely weren't monitoring this intermediate code signing cert (which is different than a TLS/webserver leaf/intermediate cert). It seems super simple to d

Folks who feel a need to carry guns always have to let everybody on the internet know they pack heat. There isn't anything wrong with concealed carry, but damn if it isn't annoying to hear all of them talk about it.

Oh relax. A cert expired. An intermediate cert at that... This has probably happened to every major cloud provider and countless companies at least once. Certs are hard . Should Mozilla have had monitoring on their cert expiration? Yes. Wi

Eh, just counting outages doesn't do anything imo. Most providers consider something like < 99% availability for > 5 minutes an outage. Outages like that are expected in any single region and product. If I really need perfect ava

Because by and large, you don't see these outages in GCP/AWS. Both of those companies have invested a ton of energy into creating regional fault tolerance and you rarely if ever see global issues. AWS has seen a few in years past

If there were problems, would anybody notice? On a more serious note it's cool to see how far the IBM cloud has come (terrible name, but oh well) but they still seem a few years behind the major players

Yup, fully agreed. Nobody can keep sql instances or hosts up forever. They will go down. Further, humans work on this stuff. Humans make mistakes. Bad config push, bad code push, lightning hitting a data center, human vandalism, etc. will

Outages happen all the time on both of the providers - they just don't happen globally and usually it isn't a global outage. One that does come to mind is the S3 outage a few years ago, which was essentially a global outage.

by cheeze 7y ago
I'd tell them "other providers have inevitable outages, however..." 1. The other providers have a better track record 2. The other providers don't go down globally multiple times a year

Global dependencies. Something in DNS had a dependency on something central within Azure, and when that breaks, you're done for. I'm not in the cloud provider game, but it seems like it would be important to audit and ensure that

Man... Azure seems to be an order of magnitude worse than AWS and GCP when it comes to reliability. Seems like they have tons of global dependencies within their services which cause these cascading failures rather often... Seems like only

If you're already locked into msft, then yeah msft makes sense. But one thing people often forget is that AWS is cheaper than everyone else. This matters to most companies. Also, Azure is a pretty miserable dev experience for many of t

The shining example of Google vs apple for me is the package manager. Since Android D, updating my apps has caused the phone to slow to a crawl. Fps drops heavily, apps are laggy, etc. There is no option to only download updates when chargi
