It's a bit of an XKCD where they keep re-inventing YAML-based DSLs. We have weird "native" YAMLs for AWS, GCP and Azure, and then YAML DSLs to generate those YAML DSLs. Even SaltStack and Ansible do it... It's almost lik

It seems to me the 'problem' has very little to do with software engineering and mostly just with marketing a significantly wider gradient en skills and quality. "Back in the day" you really couldn't get things done

It makes sense when you aren't a datacenter hosting company as your core business. Once you're done with your DRP and BCP it's highly unlikely that your server-under-the-desk (as it usually is) is worth the risk. By the way,

tl;dr: Starting out with containers that have no own state, running on x86 on Linux has the highest chance of success I'd say, and when you grow, you have the capability to flow between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS and all-in-one clouds as you

I think the best explanation (including APNS which is on top of IMAP open connections) on the certificates and key usages is described here: https://micromdm.io/blog/certificates/ ABE and ABM both use the same tec

You can in fact get a certificate for 99 per year and use that to generate entitlements that Apple will happily sign CSRs for. It's how we use MicroMDM.

But that's not really a problem, is it? If it works and the contracts cover everything all the same, does it really matter which party is responsible for it? Better yet, if it's not the core business of the company (a Bank for exa

They are essentially application kiosks, which is exactly what a user needs in most cases. We tend to forget that most computing in the world really has nothing to do with OS management, hardware management or installing/removing appli

So none of your requirements match up with AWS services. Of course it's not going to be a great match in that case, right? If you need 'some random compute and a bit of networking' then no, do not use AWS. Vendor neutrality i

Your semantics are misguided at best and malicious at first hand. FaaS is cloud-native, but is a mere abstract context a lock-in? If so, what is the point of ascribing lock-ins at all at that point? Cloud-native isn’t vendor-owned, at best

Having to pay expensive diy-developers is also a cost (and a huge risk). And if you then need to transfer knowledge and reinvent the wheel for all the NIH-applications you're essentially becoming a cloud, but less complete and not scal

We have that 'issue' with many of our Spark workloads where there isn't any of our desired capacity available as spot, but we have a baseline reserved up front instances for anything realtime anyway so with a bit of planning

If you're in a single AZ you're not in multiple AZ. Migrating between AZs isn't multi-zone either. Running at 130% capacity in three AZs, that is multi-AZ (to us, in our availability configuration). If an AZ goes down (which

It seems someone disagrees with that statement but I can't edit it anymore to ask for clarification... Cloud is a vague term that doesn't really point to a specific thing nor does it have the same meaning to different people. &quo

High compared to what? GCP? Azure? A raspberry pi in a closet with a cable modem? You generally pay for what you need and for what you can afford. If you don't need AWS or you can't afford AWS, it wouldn't make sense to use A

That sounds exceptionally vague. Simplicity rarely is bound to some vendor and more likely to be based on requirements and implementation engineering. It mostly gets as complex as it needs to be. Simple things are simple: need IPv4 networki

Unless you intend to create your own CPU architecture, your own internet and your own human population, by your logic, you are always "locked in". Regarding negotiating positions, those are governed by contracts and by money, the

As this seems to be a repeating class of posts, the reality generally boils down to the same thing every time: - use requirements to find out what you need, not buzzwords - comparing services with significantly different properties while ig

Is it really the same, or 'similar, but worse'? AWS is expensive, but multi-zone redundancy is expensive anywhere and even worse: it's not available everywhere. That also means that a side-project that doesn't need that

If you are not using cloud native features you are essentially just using a virtual datacenter at which point AWS is an expensive choice. On the other hand, if you use Kinesis, Lambdas, RDS, VPC peering, and IAM accross all of them includin

Seems like a pretty nice Docker-desktop-ish GUI to me. One remark: > Application looks the same everywhere, no mental mapping! That depends on your perspective. If you are on one OS and this non-natve-looking app comes along, you have to

Since when is a speed limit not a rule/law but a 'feeling' for a 'natural' speed? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. That essentially just escalates as everyones 'naturally' speeds up as a herd a

Is it? The author self-described the written article as a rant, and here on HN the title presents it as a neutral "impressions from a first-time user". I think you may want to do some introspection before accusing people of failin

Lots of "I don't like how it tastes/feels, therefore it must be bad" packaged in a rant, as usual. Essentially only useful information if you are a clone of the author, in all other cases your milage will vary... drastic

Writing machine instructions isn't that unusual in microcontrollers where you write very closely against the bare metal.

That is true as well, but as with most double-edged swords there can be a downside in that people that used to have the deep knowledge can now be swapped out with "cheaper" people that do not, and will not (by choice or by policy)

It's also a pattern to commodify things that used to be basic knowledge for any systems administrator. That is both good and bad; new generations of computer people don't know how their systems work or how to actually do certain t

This seems to be more like an IDE or ISE and not like a terminal emulator and a running CLI shell. At first I thought it was a sh-compatible replacement, but it wasn't, and then I thought it was a terminal emulator, but that's not
