I manage a stack like this, we have dedicated hardware running a steady state of backend processing, but scale into AWS if there’s a surge in realtime processing needed and we don’t have the hardware. We also had an outage in our on prem datacenter once which was expensive for us (I assume an insurance claim was made), but scaling to AWS was almost automatic, and the impact was minimal for a full datacenter outage.
If we wanted to optimize even more, I’m sure we could scale into Azure depending on server costs when spot pricing is higher in AWS. The moral of the story is to not get too locked into any one provider and utilize some of the abstraction layers so that AWS, Azure, etc are just targets that you can shop around for by default, without having to scramble.
This is great and all, but what I really need is an alternative picture of shel silverstein to put on the back of the book.
But but suddenly critics it’s but. I’m not defending the bot this is just the first words of each paragraph and it’s really annoying to read.
My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count
And the CIS was led by the treacherous Count Dooku
We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.
I’m surprised he didn’t replace one of the kids in the lightsaber training class with yoda with a young CGI Ahsoka.
I just rewatched the scene, and yeah, they do mention she’s a youngling. And then in this scene from one of the later episodes, she’s very young. So yeah between when she joins the Jedi Order and becomes a padawan, there’s lots of time she could have been in the training rooms in the Jedi Temple during the events of AtoC.
I might be misremembering the Clone Wars movie, but didn’t she only appear and become Anakin’s Padawan after the event of AotC?
I do the same thing, and one morning, I woke before my alarm and left my phone in the bedroom to take a shower. Learned that day that my wife doesn’t know PEMDAS.
Are you able to include the HTTP Method being called and the amount of data transferred per request? It’s possible that the first request is an OPTION request and then the second request is a POST.
If you can see the amount of data transferred, then you can have some more indication that double the requests are being sent and quantity the bandwidth impact at least.
If your services are not stateless, work to make them such so you can learn about scaling in the cloud, which can even be done w/ VM-based services. how much more agility using cloud vs a DC gives you
This can’t be understated. Embracing elastic idology to remove single points of failure and decoupling stateful aspects of applications has been the biggest takeaway of being part of several migrations of services to AWS. Implementing these into your practices as you grow is a huge benefit that may is worth the cost.
Over time, if the scale you’re operating at grows, using experience/knowledge from AWS and applying it to running services in a datacenter could be beneficial. In my experience, if you have a large, consistent, asynchronous workload which you’ve maxed out on reserved instances or savings plans, it is likely cheaper to operate on your own hardware than in the cloud (or get credits from GCP or Azure to migrate services to reduce costs). This is where avoiding vendor lock-in is key.
have y’all factored in all the time/money spent on maintaining the server hardware, power, DC cooling, etc. too?
For sure, this isn’t 2007 where you need to purchase servers and network equipment to start a website. For most startups and small businesses, operating in the cloud will be less expensive upfront and likely over the first 3 years. This isn’t a one size fits all approach though, and it’d be prudent to evaluate the cloud spend periodically and compare with what’d it’d cost to manage it entirely. Obviously you’d need a team competent enough to manage this, without it going to shit.
This 100%. I hate getting added to a PR for review with testing commits in the history, and I’m expected to clean those up before merging into main.
Just when I thought Facebook couldn’t go any lower.
The scene with the tractor beam was pretty great though.
I’d say this is more than kinda biased, and is heavily biased. They link to a 2015 article that says only 2% of documents have been publicly disclosed through journalists, and then make the claim that Russia and China have the other 98% with no source at all for the claim.
I might be misremembering the timeline in Citizen Four, but I remember that he had given the journalists all the documents and made a point that he didn’t have access to anything before leaving for Latin America.
It’s unfortunate that Snowden’s passport was revoked while he was in the Moscow Airport, and that he’s stuck there now. For a guy who didn’t want to go to jail or be executed for speaking out against the government, I don’t blame him for not speaking up against Putin.
Is the former employer of your friend trying to claim ownership of the project after laying him off??
Good point, I’m not against the transparent salary, my company lists a salary range, and knowing I’m at the top of my range for my position is rewarding.
