Or it's time to go back to one's own infrastructure and take one's own destiny into one's own hands, along with the responsibility.

I can't remember ever seeing this work out well lol. Happy to be proven wrong one day, though.

I have my own datacenter. Works well and has for the past 20 years. Costs me peanuts because I know what I'm doing and how to do it. Will never be an Amazon or any other "cloud" provider's customer.

For quite a while now I've been hoping that cloud tools will hit the turnkey solution point where anyone technically literate can manage a small private cloud. Baby pictures shouldn't be on Facebook. They should hosted on my machine, and replicated on Uncle Bill's and Aunt Sally's, and only family members have access to them. But I think I'm going to be waiting a while.

in a way Scuttlebutt provides this. Distributed social network. No central storage of anything. You post an image, it's on your machine, and the machines you connect to that have chosen to "follow" you. So, your baby pictures are on your machine and "Uncle Bill's and Aunt Sally's"

Realistically they're also on a "Pub" server which is just another client with a known IP that facilitates transfer of data between peers.

you could take it another step and build a personal image gallery / sharing client on SSB as the protocol supports (and has) many different apps that run on it.

how do you address the central "something went boom" issue of the post. Like if a backhoe takes out the line to connection to the data center do you still have any "nines" ?

google cloud compute clearly states that their free sla benefits come in form of credits https://cloud.google.com/compute/sla amazon ec2 clearly states their sla gives you credits https://aws.amazon.com/compute/sla/ azure compute clearly states they give you credits https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-... wanna better sla - pay up, like i said in the beginning. as the cost of sla is proportion…

Did you skip there part where I said enterprises get separate SLA's from the ones you and I get?

I have set up everything to be redundant.
