        the only reason azure exists is that 365 runs on top of it. azure is literally the worst of the 3 major platforms, even google is better than azure and google is fricking horrible. aws is king, has been the entire time "cloud" has been around. no one can beat it. it has the best services, the best api, and the best stability

            You've clearly never worked with GCP. And it shows. There's plenty of horror stories of them on the internet, and I've seen it in person. You can believe whatever you want but it won't change that Google can and sometimes will frick you over for no reason at all and will put you on hold forever. Google is literally notorious for this bullcrap.

            When your instances are being killed off without a way to bring them back yes, you absolutely need to contact support. What else are you going to do? Other than switch to a better cloud service, I mean.

            Have you looked at it recently? It's infinitely better than even a few years ago. Most of the services are identical, many real world clients find that the Azure AD integration as a major selling advantage, once you start adding shit like Sentinal it's just easier to have everything in the same place when you aren't giving anything up to achieve it. Might be subjective but the portal is also better. They're both fairly equal now and bullshit aside calling it dogshit just tells me you've not used in 5 years

            azure's tooling is nice and their docs are good and it smells less of curry than AWS

            however, azure is expensive and the amount of shit M$ wants to sell you/get you locked-into expands to fill the space you give it.

            if your org uses MS stuff already, especially SharePoint and/or other 365, get a good architect who ISN'T azure certified and tell him to spec out something on azure. That's how you end up with a good system. If you hire an azure architect you're going to end up using every azure service that exists, it will be impossible to refactor anything to use any alternative service, and you'll have a million dollar invoice.

            it's actually pretty common to host across multiple availability zones per service, across multiple services. it's not only good for reliability, it's also good for contract negotiations because you can drive your traffic to the provider down to 10% to show them you can walk.

            the only exception for us is our internal tooling which all lives in aws us-east-1 because our infrastructure team is a forest fire colliding with a city dump.

            it sucks because its just a bunch of bread and meat. what kind of stupid b***h eats meat regularly and then shits on tasty convenient meat from someplace else?
            meat is literal dog food. do you actually understand this?
            do you understand its molecular composition?
            do you even know how proteins work?
            you think you are eating some full spectrum "complete" protein shit, when in fact you are just a moron eating peasant food. you dont even understand how much of this so called protein spectrum is incompatible garbage. but also, look at the fricking meat. its a pile of gelatinous chemically unstable shit. this doesnt seem like something which is not completely foul and toxic to ingest. what happens when meat starts to rot, you fricking moron? look at it.
            you think the flavor tastes good and for the most part it does but its only because of highly specialized breeding or because there is plenty of delicious shit inside of it which is 100% not meat. such as salt or anything else.

            your stupid ass oral fixation of meat is nothing but a wired dope fix coupled with Black person-ignorance.
            so go eat for fancy specialty cut beef and dont forgot to take your pretty little homosexual picture of it and post on redd.it before talking shit about mcdonalds. you hypocritical pretentious b***h

    The example code for AWS services is painfully slow. When your first introduction to the system has 800ms penalties for trivial queries it suddenly starts making 210% sense why all AWS hosted websites are trashfires. You can't blame bad devs when it's rotten from the core.

        Can't remember. I signed up for a trial, copy/pasted the lambda example code verbatim and found the throughput laughable. Sure, I'm sure it's scales to billions of concurrent users at the same performance level, but I build websites that respond as fast as you access them because it turns out one bare metal server can trivially support hundreds of thousands of concurrent users and the benefits you get from not designing it like some functional programmer's wet dream are so massive scaling vertically instead of horizontally is going to see you right until you get to facebook numbers of usage.

    Only been digging into AWS full time for about six months, compared to 7 years on Azure. AWS clearly has a huge footprint and a lot of capabilities, but I would tend to prefer Azure.

    VPCs vs Virtual Networks: the lack of capability to traverse VPCs without deploying routing appliances can be a pain, prefer the Azure model of availability zones being able to share a subnet.
    Accounts vs Subscriptions: Prefer the Azure model of Subscriptions that still provides for billing and access control separation, but without having a separate RBAC/IAM identity store. AWSSSO feels like a bolted-on hack and I've had a lot of issues with it.
    IAM vs Azure AD: AADs handling of application authentication with Service Principals / App Registrations just feels much cleaner and makes for clearer separation between users and services.
    Management interfaces: Hands down prefer Azure portal. This "pick the region you want to manage resources in" stuff is just pain. (this model also carries over to their APIs, which is again just pain). "Oh, you want to enumerate all of your VPCs? You'll just have to take a list of all your accounts, create an SSO profile for each of them on your machine, then query each one for which regions it is enabled in, and then query each region/account combination to pull a list."

            definitely some truth to this, and there's another layer to it: a lot of those companies are shipping their servers to azure VMs without looking to optimize in any way. this is artificially inflating the value of azure since these morons are basically paying an order of magnitude more than their compute is actually worth.

    AWS can hit you with a big surprise bill if you don't understand the pricing model. But if you complain enough they might waive it for you or give you private discounts
    >Region parity
    AWS sucks at this, you have something working perfectly fine in us-east-1 then you try to deploy the same thing into a new region (say a new region like ap-southeast-3) and nothing works because services aren't launched or some features of a service don't exist. Going multi-region is pretty much going multi-cloud.

      How much do you get paid? How to get your position?

        Anonymous

        I get way overpaid, I make something like $200k cash a year and I don't think I deserve it, but I won't complain.
        As for how to get the position, I don't know, you apply and interview? I actually find the big companies are more likely to interview you even if your resume sucks. I got passed over at a bunch of small no-name companies then AWS hired me.
        They keep raising the hiring bar each year though, we have this 50% rule where you have to be better than 50% of current employees. Do some leetcode and study the leadership principles, come up with a couple examples for each one to prepare.

            Probably should at least max out your 401k, an IRA, and put the rest in an index fund, though maybe not now with how the market is right now. I'm not too fiscally informed so I might be wrong.

            Oh yeah I contributed $6k or whatever in IRA but I don't think I can anymore due to the income limit.
            And the number I quoted is after the 401k, it's automatically deducted from my paycheck so I forgot about it.

            I have more money than I need but it does get super stressful, especially at this time of the year in the months leading up to Re:Invent. There's also oncall and you will be expected to handle customer issues at 2 AM no matter the day.

          Any tips on how to get a US based job at AWS as a foreigner?
          They only seem to offer me the Canada based jobs, but from what I have heard the pay is much much less in Canada than in US for the same job. Is that also the case for AWS? Or is it possible to get the US salaries while working for the Canadian branch as well?

            Sorry I have no idea about salary difference across countries.
            On the amazon.jobs site the jobs will tell you if they're hiring internationally. Pretty sure it's a minority, but I know there are some teams that span countries - I know of a couple that have split between Cali, Seattle, Berlin, and Cape Town.

    I work for a company that probably spends several 10s of millions on cloud each year.

    If you have some common sense and understand how the costs work and basic understanding of how to not to blow up your bill it's pleasant.

    Unfortunately, when you're in an organization with 1000s of developers who can deploy shit with a click of a button, upload stuff, do a bunch of moronic big data shit, it becomes chaos. No doubt the company just throws up their hands at the end of the month and just pays the bill, because it's apparently easier than educating developers on doing things a better way.

    The israelites of cloud computing

    Almost all of their products have obscure usage-based pricing which makes it difficult to anticipate how much your monthly costs will be.

    Even with upfront payments: cost savings plans (where you have to use price calculators to approximate the spend PER HOUR so you can pay $$$$ for 3 years), EC2 instance savings plans, reserved instances and even then you still have to pay usage based costs like I/O and storage for Aurora, usage on anything higher than cache.t2.medium on Elasticache

    So without proper DDOS protection, you're gonna get fricked in the ass with usage fees, and what is AWS's solution to this? AWS Shield which is usage based and usually costs thousands per month. AWS WAF is absolute dogshit as well.

    Their documentation is the worst I've come across and I can understand why you need certifications to use this shit.

    Using CloudFormation which you use for "infrastructure-as-code" means that you have to treat all the instances as read-only to avoid sync issues, and god forbid you change database settings or make a simple typo in your config because it WILL delete your database without warn.

    Elastic Beanstalk is a shitty take at managed docker containers with load balancing, except the instances are one giant black box in terms of configuring deployment hooks and troubleshooting deployment failures. You have to SSH in to the instance to actually view meaningful logs but even then AWS doesn't share any images of the preconfigured environments, so you're bound by months of waiting for AWS to update application versions of PHP and Node.js.

    Cloudwatch is an absolute shitshow that still doesn't allow you to monitor X minute intervals for log patterns and email when it reaches a threshold with contextual info, like most other log ingestion options out there. All you can do is get is an email with the alarm level.

    I only long for the day the CloudFlare takes over with competing services.

      that chart is outdated; the gap is growing.

      > i'd assume a lot of azure users are boomer companies using windows and use azure since they've been using microsoft shit forever, and have never even heard of infrastructure as code

      definitely some truth to this, and there's another layer to it: a lot of those companies are shipping their servers to azure VMs without looking to optimize in any way. this is artificially inflating the value of azure since these morons are basically paying an order of magnitude more than their compute is actually worth.

      >a lot of those companies are shipping their servers to azure VMs without looking to optimize in any way. this is artificially inflating the value of azure

      Yes this is how it works. More than 50% don't save any money on using "cloud". Every cloud provider is raking in massive profits.
      It's the same with any digital subscription. If you subscribe to netflix, if you watch it 24/7, they'll lose a couple of bucks on you. But there's also tons of people that pay for it that forgot they even have it.

      All these companies were sold on "cloud" with promises of "huge savings" and "paying for only exactly what you need", but they ended up with ever more expensive configurations and no one taught them to scale down and optimize.

      >obscure usage-based pricing
      It's all in the pricing docs anon... https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/ they have calculators and examples for almost every service. How about you read them before you build?
      This is like going to a restaurant and ordering food without looking at the prices then getting surprised when you get the bill.

      >AWS WAF is absolute dogshit as well.
      >Their documentation is the worst I've come across
      Yeah I agree with these point

      >Using CloudFormation which you use for "infrastructure-as-code"
      Use CDK, and set retention policies so your stuff doesn't get deleted. I agree CFN sucks, I work for AWS and everyone I know hates the CFN team. You will not believe what a pain it is to internally onboard with CFN, it is a giant pain in the ass.

      Never used Elastic Beanstalk so I don't know

        I shouldn't have to go through artificial friction of using pricing calculators and documentation for this though. They could easily show monthly estimates when provisioning an instance or service.

        >Holy shit use a metric filter you moron
        I've already got metric filters. It's just that the email subscriptions for these filters provide no actionable, contextual data, a snippet of the logs, a screenshot of the graph, anything. I don't want to log in to the console to see my last X logs on the metric filter.

          And we DO provide estimates, go to the billing console and you see how much money you're projected to spend and how much you've spent so far.

          >metric filters
          Ok I see what you mean, I agree it'd be nice to have. You'd have to do something more custom here, like have the SNS trigger a lambda which will read the logs and send you the email with context you need. It's not that difficult to setup.

            I'm just frustrated about the pricing model because I just did a whole bunch of 3-year upfront purchases for reserved aurora & elasticache instances and EC2 cost savings plans totalling around $20k.
            The cost savings stuff was the most annoying because the UI assumes you've already calculated the savings yourself using the pricing calculator. Just having heuristic suggestions that say "you can save 37% over last month's EC2 costs by purchasing a cost savings plan of $0.32/hour" would have helped so much, in comparison to potentially making calculation errors on the pricing calculator when accounting for all our EC2 resources across all zones.

            Honestly submit a feedback request. Go to the console and click the Feedback button and tell them what you want. That goes straight to the team that develops the service/console.
            My team looks at every single request we get, and I know other teams do too. At the very least a group of product managers and engineers will discuss it. I won't guarantee anything will change but I guarantee it will get some internal traction.
