Kind of ignored this because it's a long list of stuff. I don't really want to repeat stuff that I've "heard". Friend of mine does consulting for a few big orgs, and he tells me that things are bad enough that man

I've been testing this one from Balena (formerly Resin) https://www.balena.io/fin/ It's a carrier for the Raspberry Pi compute module. Solves many of the problems it has in an industrial environment. It tak

There are technical reasons. Azure is doing quite well leveraging Microsoft's existing enterprise relationships. I'm not sure how much success folks are having "lifting and shifting" their Microsoft infrastructure into

My thoughts are that I don't know anyone that's adopted Azure at scale that are happy with the service. N=1, YMMV, etc.

I tend to agree. I've been a GCP customer for ~18 months and as recent as a year ago it still felt like very early days for sales and support. Well, actually it still feels like early days for support. The products, however, have bee

Eh... Most steerer tubes are aluminum for exactly the reason that you've shortened a lot of forks. In the field, Joe Mechanic is less likely to screw up an aluminum steerer vs. a carbon one. As to what's rare, hell if I know. A

Generally speaking this stiffness is the result of the tube shapes necessary to achieve similar strength and stiffness of a steel frame while weighing less. A perfect example of this is the Cannondale CAD3. It had a massive downtube and hu

Not, exactly. I did interview with Microsoft Global Network Services several years ago (before Satya Nadella) and got a sense on the infrastructure and money they were pumping into Bing. They were replicating the style of data center deploy

Didn’t we cover this in another thread?

Your correction is accurate.

Microsoft needed something to do with all the infrastructure they built waiting for bing to take off.

"...slow drawl of the enterprise." Not sure that I've ever seen this articulated so brilliantly.

Where do you go for first class IPv6 support? I find it a bit ironic that the mobile and web side of the house are pushing very heavily for IPv6 adoption and yet they expect their cloud customers not to need it.

My team is running a couple thousand cores on GKE and have been in production there for a year. These are multi-tenant clusters with several dozen deployments of my company's application. "production" tenants get automatica

You disagree, but why? Compute is compute. Both providers offer similar instance classes for the most part. GCP offers sustained-use discounts, in addition to committed use discounts that match up to reserve instances, plus billing by the

How about Linux? Shouldn't be that much more of a lift.

I got an auto-adjusting machine which was set to a fixed pressure by the medical provider. I had a difficult time tolerating it. I had to do a little research to figure out how to use the settings at which point, I made the machine auto-a

I can't seem to figure out the identity management services. Am I using live.com, azure, AD, which is it? Provisioning instances take quite a long time. The response I received from a product manager was, "how long should it tak

You can't go into the AWS console and select a region in China and then provision resources. AWS-China is literally a different organization with a different service on a different URI and with whom you'll need to establish a diff

Agreed. GCP UI is... Actually usable. There are cases where I prefer that to the UI or API.

I'm not that small a fish as far as GCP customers go and 80% of my support experiences have been ridiculous. 20% have been fabulous, so there's that. I'm also still very fond of GCP as I don't rely on support to operate

The last time I did the math a reasonable highly available setup was $1-3m CapEx per data center, I’d want no less than three. That’s 30kw worth of gear per for a total of 90kw at ~$180/kw MRC if I’m lucky plus transit fees, so $20k a

At one point, I was maintaining clusters in AWS, Azure, and GCP. It was a more work than I anticipated, for very little benefit. Cluster administration and identity management are unique to each provider and fairly challenging to get right

Your response is from an IT consumer's viewpoint. "Cloud" is not a thing one buys and one's reputation has nothing to do with the reliability of the services consumed, but the reliability of the services provided. To put

Not much to add here other than this reflects my experience as well. Moved for bizdev reasons, and really appreciated the improved quality of life.

Discounts included, my previous statements about cost still stand. That said, I don't think the cost differences should incentivize anyone to move unless they're operating at a scale that would make a substantial difference. Dis

My entire production infrastructure is in GCP. What happened here has caused approximately zero impact to the availability of my service.
