The AWS team keeps touting the rock solid reliability of AWS as a reason why we shouldn’t diversify our cloud. Should be a fun meeting!
If you have an app that experiences 1000x demand spikes at unpredictable times then sure, go with the cloud. But there are a lot of companies that would be better off if they seriously considered their options before choosing the cloud for everything.
Yep. Although it's just anecdata, it's what we do where I work - haven't had a slightest issue in years.
Yes, mostly.
This is and was never true. I've done setups in the past where monitoring happened "multi cloud" with also multiple dedicated servers. Was pretty broad so you could actually see where things broke.
Was quite some time ago so I don't have the data, but AWS never came out on top.
It actually matched largely with what netcraft.com put out. Not sure if they still do that and release those things to the public.
It really is a single point of failure for the majority of the Internet.
If an internal "AWS team" then this translates to "I am comfortable using this tool, and am uninterested in having to learn an entirely new stack."
If you have to diversify your cloud workloads give your devops team more money to do so.
