Highlight the lack of transparency on reporting outages and that's a start. If your MPLS or ISP provider operated in the save way. The company wouldn't accept it
My company is not going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, and months or even years of effort, and add additional constraints to the given pool of candidates we are hiring for, to migrate to GCP or Azure or DigitalOcean or Hetzner or wherever is considered more trendy than AWS right now due to "a lack of transparency" lmao.

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.
this just bring whole load of new expenses on staffing physical locations creates more problem than it solves

Your company is hiring and retaining people who can't work with tooling outside Amazon Web Services?

#47Everyone seems to overlook the point here. That yet again Amazon were slow as hell to be honest with their customers. I get it up down reports help but why do you keep using a service which lies to you about availability. I've read on HN in the past how the dashboard can only be updated to reflect an issue with approval. (Comments section on a similar posting, believe it if you wish). So why not move to a hosting com…
AWS is the 800 pound gorilla in the cloud space. Are any of the other cloud providers better with customer honesty?

But your company is willing to accept poor service and as a result spend more money with the same provider to ensure continuity. So essentially you reward Aws hiding their stats. As they can claim high uptime figures and when an outage happens it's the users fault for not spending enough money with them to have many many instances around the availability zones to ensure your covered the Aws mess up. I get it redundan…
