If you properly divide your instances between providers and regions and use load balancing which uses a corum of 3 availability model then it can be zero downtime pretty fairly guaranteed.
People be cheap and easy tho, so 🤷♂️
Yup. And I think I’ll add:
What do you mean we’ve blown our yearly budget in the first month.
Dividing between providers is not what people would be doing if the resilience of cloud services were as is being memed about.
Doing so is phenomenally expensive.
Doing so is phenomenally expensive.
It’s demonstrably little more expensive than running more instances on the same provider. I only say -little- because there is a marginal administrative overhead.
Only if you engineered your stack using vendor neutral tools, which is not what each cloud provider encourages you to do.
Then the adminstrative overhead of multi-cloud gets phenomenally painful.
The administrative overhead and the overhead of engineering everything to with multiple vendors is what is massive
“But we have our load balacing with 3 different AWS buckets!!!”
Remember when the Internet was supposed to be decentralised for resilience?
No, sorry, I’m not that old :P
Remember: you’re never too young to have a Vietnam flashback!
Back during the Rant Radio days…
Yes. Then these assholes came along…
The cloud is just someone else’s computer. And that computer is busy printing AI videos of the President pooping out of a fighter jet, so now your files are inaccessible
Can you imagine this sentence 1 year ago much less 5 years ago?
One year ago? Easily.
Five years ago? Depends on whether I was visiting 4chan at the moment.
The President of course being a convicted felon and rapist, Donald J Trump.
That’s convicted felon, rapist and pedophile, Donald J Trump, to you, mr. Twopi.
