they, uh, don't have a good logo? Look at left. left SCREAMS "cloud providere", you have blocks? I have block-hosters. 100%. but look at right. some generic swosh above the company name? do they even cloud? how are you gonna put that in a draw.io diagram?
On the surface, it all makes sense. But then you get into it, and realize: >EC2 is just a more expensive dedicated machine >lambda is expensive as it rounds up resource usage, which was previously insanely high; but in the end it's just useless if you just install a queue system like rabbitmq, which replaces SQS too >ECS/EKS - you can run a process and listen/connect to another TCP port without all that bloat >S3 is ok, but really expensive when compared to just buying storage hosting, like hetzner >glacier - I have no idea what's the use case for this, since it's really expensive if I need to recover my data
You probably only need a server, a queueing system, and a database (or maybe 2-in-1). You don't need any of that stuff to run a couple of binaries.
But if you got money and no people to manage it, then I guess a managed service is OK, but be aware that everything is 2-4 times more expensive.

another backup location for high critically data you can't afford to not be able to recover. think things governments or lawyers may demand
I use Oracle cloud because somehow, someway, Oracle is the only one with a free tier that gives you 4 vCPU, 24GB RAM, and 200GB storage along with some other shit. It's very bizarre, I know. I have my doubts Oracle even realizes they are doing this. Been using it for years now though without issues.
I heard you have to constantly run something that uses the CPU so that it doesn't shut your instance down when the load dips low for long enough. Only reason I haven't used them yet.
they do have rules in place to reclaim "idle" vms. I've never ran into it though. It's pretty easy to actually be over the limits. One is like keep memory over 20% used and they won't reclaim.
Do you have to register a card with them to use this or can you just create as many accounts as you like? Could just CPU mine shitcoins to make free money if there are any nowadays that work well with CPU mining
Yes. Requires a card and they do a test transaction of like $1 at the start to verify. I've only seen it occur once so you maybe could get away with a prepaid, but idk if they blacklist any.
It's 25% more expensive than alternatives and you'll still go down when us-east-1 goes down.
i am glad to pay more to not give microsoft money
plus they get fucking hacked at the core level and cover it up

they are terminally pajeetified.
Then don't use Microsoft, use Linode. Wait.... they're dead.
redpill me on Akamai, why is it bad?

might have helped the "joke" (if it was even that) if I provided the image
>i am glad to pay more
LOL KEKO
we're not making shit for plebs, you get what you pay for
I'm on eu- though
If you are asking random naggers on LULZ what you should use. You probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
i made up my mind i just wanted to shitpost
