They care about leverage. Does it matter to you that nobody knows you did/do drugs? Then you are at risk of someone using that as leverage against you.

Well, they are better in some ways and worse in others. Public cloud providers let you offload a lot of lower level operational work off to them and provide you with higher level, and perhaps most importantly integrated, abstractions around

cockroachdb and spanner are "CP with high probability of A". There are situations where the db (or possibly a subset, haven't read too deeply into the papers) can become unavailable due to a loss of quorum, but these situatio

The examples and descriptions on the second page are super off. For example, the first example should be described as "To create #two# fixed-height rows of 150px and three fixed-width columns of 150px, simply write:" and the css f

How do you plan on keeping it sane over time? Even disregarding paring down the number of times managed major providers appear on the list (which is super sensible imo), won't it start to get quite crowded with all the open source comp

One of the major problems (at least in the US) is that the process is heavyweight and specifically tuned towards "lowest conforming bid". You end up getting subpar work and long delays, but the government is absolutely unwilling t

From the AWS status page: "Some customers have reported intermittent resolution issues with .io domains. We can confirm that Route 53 DNS services are operating normally at this time and these issues seem to be related to the .io top-l

I would disagree on no minimums and equivalency to lambda et al, as azure container instances charge a create fee (iirc its equivalent to 100 seconds of their minimum configuration) which sits on top of the per-second billing.

Netflix is also generally online when (parts of) AWS goes down, because they've architected their services to be resilient underlying failures (as Amazon and Google have too!). Netflix has blogged quite heavily about this, for example

I don't think the rules actually say you can't edit titles. At best, they ask that you please use the original title unless misleading or linkbait. You could argue that the original title is misleading, because you would've t

to me this slide deck is "how to not completely fail at getting a minimally viable microservices arch going in your organization" which is good because apparently these lessons are not self-evident. But when are we going to get to

I'm surprised (in I guess a good way =) that awscli is all the way up at #15. Definitely expected quite a few utilities and languages to rank higher.

for people who need more 9s of availability on a single cloud provider, you have to start going multi-region. aws takes region isolation/independence very seriously, and along with geographic independence gives you effectively two enti

its not so much that they are serializing all messages through a single thread, but that they are consistently routing messages (duplicates and all) into separate shards that are processed by a single thread.

AWS will give each VPC a /56, and each subnet a /64 https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-ipv6-support-for-ec2-in... Again, the thing I would like to see is being able to either peer only ipv6 for VPCs, o

AWS does support ipv6 everywhere; the problem is that many consumers do not (I can't access ipv6 on my current provider w/o doing work on my side, for example) and so the need for public ipv4 is going to continue for years. I woul
