The Cloud
Man I wish HN had a downvote option for articles that are just not worth reading.<p>&quot;Don&#x27;t go to the cloud, just buy your own servers&quot; completely ignores the reason anyone rents cloud servers in the first place. If I could easily say &quot;I need exactly this much capacity, no more no less, with no unexpected scaling needs and no code&#x2F;infrastructure changes&quot; then I&#x27;d be sitting pretty. Now for a show of hands, how many companies does this describe?<p>And of those companies that raised their hand, how many can say &quot;I&#x27;m fine with just having a server in Germany&quot; who will then go on to say &quot;and I don&#x27;t need a CDN to serve customers in other regions&quot;?<p>&gt;keep running live&#x2F;live setup...This is very critical<p>Oh I didn&#x27;t know it was that easy. If all you have to do to keep a server running is say &quot;stay running, it&#x27;s very critical&quot; then of course no one needs any managed services. Outages are solved forever.<p>Completely worthless advice from a text file written by... I&#x27;m sorry who is this person and what authority do they have?
