I don’t even want to hear an argument for moving back on prem with how badly Broadcom/VMware ripped our eyes out this year. 350% increase over 2 years ago, and I still have to buy the hardware, secure it in a room, power it, buy redundant Internet and networking equipment, get a backup facility, buy and test a generator/UPS, and condition the damn air. Oh then every few years we have to switch out all the hardware when it stops getting vendor support.
At least everyone was all in the same boat today, and we all know what was broken.
Moving to Nutanix soon. Love their product. Proxmox looks good on paper too, just not mature enough in the enterprise to bet my paycheck on it.
Cloud infrastructure is expensive.
We’re a year or so into our AWS migration, but will have a presence on prem for years to come. Broadcom has seen our last dollar, so for what remains on prem, we will be moving to a different hypervisor. I was kinda hoping that Proxmox could be the one, but it may not shake out that way.
Lucky me needs Proxmox only for self-hosting and loves it :)
Worst part for me was when the rewards app at the tea shop wouldn’t work.
I hated it when I was trying to break to avoid hitting that pedestrian at the cross walk, and the brake pedal input does a roundtrip to AWS before activating the wheel brakes. For user statistics, for my safety. Not at all for AI training, we swear.
Oh well, had no choice but to drive-by that old hag.
AWS salespeople, meeting customers today.
Today should have been easy for them tbh. “See? That’s why you should pay us more money to have active infra on our other regions to failover to!”
Okay, who messed with the Network Switches?
“Sir. Sir? Sir. (sigh) have you tried turning the internet off and on again?”
I hardly noticed. When I look at the shit companies that are affected I’m happy I’m not their customer.
I keep seeing all this stuff all over Lemmy and FB about the AWS outage and being in the northeast I dont understand how it hasn’t effected me in the slightest but I’ll take the W I guess !
I’m in the northeast as well, I couldn’t watch TV last night thanks to this. Count your blessings I guess.
Lol no kidding. All my friends complaining about the outage are in ri/ ma, I’m in VT. Not sure if I’m on the same servers as the rest of east coast? Don’t even know how to check honestly.
