AWS is the 800 pound gorilla in the cloud space. Are any of the other cloud providers better with customer honesty?
Also good luck trying to convince your company to migrate to another cloud provider over, say, implementing multi-region strategy, which you should have been doing in the first place.

#38Keep in mind AWS status dashboard solely reflects the product owning managers discretion. And the number of yellow ("green I" if you're old enough) is definitely a material input to PIP :)
Correct. No matter how down AWS is, their status page will only show a disruption if a manager approves showing a disruption. There is nothing automated to display the status, so the status page is mostly worthless except for whatever AWS admits is down.

Didn't say you have to go "cloud" rent hardware in a DC and run that yourself. Or use a VPS I mean the cloud is just "Other people's hardware" and I'd thank you to not insult gorillas like that by comparing them to Amazon.
