- @glynwintle @runasand @timesjoanna Well that's one of my favourite topics, and am well-versed. Shall we meet up? DM me with contact detail.. #
- @Beaker Proactive defence against cloud-computing-criticism, much? "#Cloudcomputing is more resilient than hardware" #eatwords #yesiknow #
- @Beaker "…and if the gods smite us it's because we haven't prayed hard enough." #inotherwords #
- @Beaker "It's not a cloud computing outage, because EC2 isn't _real_ cloud computing." #inyetmorewords #outageshappen #getoverit #
- Notice to all: if anyone calls, the entire UK is out to lunch prettymuch until May 3rd #
- @runasand mange takk #
- @JamesFirth Cue jokes about whether the earth moved for you, darling? #
- @JamesFirth http://instantrimshot.com/index.php?sound=rimshot&play=true #
- @JamesFirth If not we should form a committee… #
- @Beaker In a nutshell: EC2 was a cloud failure; blaming it on the users for being wedded to Amazon is trite. Cloud's not perfect. That's OK. #
- @BSbikeNJ Yes. Or pay someone like Amazon to do it for you. Which is the proposition of Cloud. #
- @BSbikeNJ Put differently: either cloud allows you to delegate responsibility or it does not. If the latter, it's no better than owning iron #
- @BSbikeNJ So when I say "Cloud's not perfect, that's OK" I am saying that ppl should accept the imperfection of cloud, or roll their own. #
- @BSbikeNJ …and further I'm saying that the cloud apologists and evangelists should STFU and not blame users for not using diverse clouds. #
- @Beaker If I buy a car, crash, and airbags fail to deploy: is car maker's fault. Is not my fault for NOT buying extra airbags just-in-case. #
- Reading @SMcNealy / Scooter's http://www.flogton.com almost make me want to take up golf. #
- @CSLewisDaily @drbexl Of course, the downside is that you won't have it any more, either… #
- very very early maybug beating itself silly headbutting against my office window. second in three days. http://bit.ly/inmTQ #
- @Beaker All analogies are imperfect, it was not good to start with because people crash cars whereas EC2 crashed without "driver" fault. #
- @Beaker Having built HA systems for customers, I know it's impossible to mitigate all risks. That goes for cloud as much as datacentres. #
- @Beaker Cloud is not necessarily more reliable than a good datacentre though it's probably cheaper TCO; using 2+ clouds raises TCO & risk #
- Security architecture tip holds generally: don't specify how to do something, specify what you want to achieve: http://bit.ly/dWObaw #
- @Beaker "Why"="ignorance" quoted in http://goo.gl/vv3d0 & implication that EC2 users' shortsightedness is more at fault than AMZN for outage #
