Google's operations groups are not only regularly updated during an outage, there's a root-cause analysis with remediation and prevention information posted a couple of days after any issue. See https://groups.google.co

That's because the link from the GKE page is for the free Google Cloud Platform trial ($300 credit), which is only available for new customers.

Shame they didn't go for the Siemens design: http://w3.siemens.com/topics/global/en/goingunderground/page... To me, it seemed like it would stand the test of time a lot better.

They demo'd live migration while streaming 1080p video, with no outage. It was described as having the network cable unplugged for a tenth of a second. There's a story from a partner who was testing it, who at the end of the day s

I suspect that this is because calls to numbers in the US and Canada are paid for by the receiver, and calls in most other countries are paid for by the caller.

For anyone else who hadn't heard of it: this is what the (never-defined) "MST" refers to in the article. I'd never heard of it: it's basically daisy-chaining, or using a USB-like hub, for DisplayPort.

Will there be a video of the landing, as seen from Earth? Is the rocket currently aimed "at the Atlantic", or are they operating with the precision they need to land back where they took off from: and in that case, do they have a

A partnership with Coinbase is seen as low enough risk (they're backed by A16Z!), that conventional merchants are prepared to use them as a payment processor; first, probably, in exchange for publicity, and later, because they will be

One data point: On AWS, a hardware outage takes your machine down (with notification). GCE offers live migration, which you generally don't even know has happened. See http://www.rightscale.com/blog/cloud-industry

Google's SSD price is $0.325/GB/mo with 30 IOPS (flat rate). AWS's EBS with provisioned IOPS are SSD backed, and cost $0.125/GB/mo, with $0.10 per IOPS. To get 30 IOPS on AWS would cost $3.125 - almost 10 time

What we believe to be the first human being caught on photo, by Louis Daguerre in 1838, was a shoe-shine boy in Paris. The rest of the people around him were not captured by the long exposure, but he stayed still long enough to be captured.

These events don't get booked with only a day's notice. And even if that was the case, Amazon knew when Google's event was, and they could have published their new pricing a day before that, and followed up at the event. At t
