Everytime i wanna learn something and come to youtube this guy comes with random facts 🙂
Perfectly explained without any confusion.
The pictures alone in this are hilarious! Eleven out of ten!
The IT department where I work only really gives us two choices: - On-prem where they have complete control over the infrastructure, which in reality is just a bunch of VMs. No orchestration. No Ansible. No Docker. - Cloud We would love to setup our own proper K3S cluster and use Ansible, but they don’t trust us, so either we take their rather outdated managed crap or run it ‘ourselves’ in the cloud.
This is why Docker is great. We build all of our products with Docker so that when we’re large enough and can consider jumping ship from cloud, we don’t have to completely alter our main workflows.
companies are addicted to not hiring people. Not long ago i was a consultant and worked with vmware specialists, load balancer specialists, applications server specialists, database administrators, unix administrators, windows administrators, a configuration management area, you name it. Many of them with sizeable salaries. Last work i got in a corporation they had only generic 'cloud engineers'
2:10 i see that aws billing in indian rupees,
2:05 S3 Stands for solid snake simulation
Why am I watching this? I’m a mainframe programmer and our company has the machine in the basement. I barely know what cloud even is.
This channel somehow, doesn't matter the topic, makes every video so damn interesting!!
it seems to be similar to microservices addiction...people start designing their applications in Microservices & start putting the infrastructure cost & then get into some cloud like AWS or Azure or GCP & then declare that they have created a marvelous design for sustainable product but that product never kicks-off properly to recover the cost of that design even ...and I feel that is another truth of cost over shooting for max projects.
What i get from this , is that Microsoft, Amazon, and Google will rule the world.
Lock-in is the biggest concern - features that are ONLY available from a particular cloud. I'm never using those unless there is an alternative readily available.
As someone who holds a Masters degree in computer science and has been in the business for over 14 years I call tell you “running your own because it’s cheap” is not a good solution. Cloud is expensive? Yes, but it takes a huge burden out of your team. I have worked in all sorts of projects, from bare metal, hybrid and all cloud, and there are advantages and disadvantages to all of this, but running your stuff has huge drawbacks and embedded costs that most people don’t think about. What about backup, data encryption, disk and hardware replacement and hardware monitoring? What about managing disaster recovery plans? You need a whole crew just for that, and if you want competent people, you might as well spend a lot of money that could just go to cloud. If you are a very small company it’s probably a good idea to run stuff in house in the beginning, but in the long run you want to move to the cloud. It’s just more efficient.
Cloud computing is just pain It is expensive and you don't really have much control over hardware Some problems might just require the cable to be replugged and for that I need to restart the cloud machine I get
As a Cloud Support Engineer, the billing part is spot on. We discouraged to advise people on how much something will cost and just point them to the fancy calculator which itself is like “yeah dude get an estimate” and then people get lost or confused in documentations that are written like some old riddles.
I heard about Google getting rid of these fees, but I didn't knew what it means. Thank you for explaining it so well! ♥
Fantastic video Jeff, thanks a lot for putting this online!
Just within AWS offerings, we had a major tech project to move to cheaper solutions and tied it to our annual bonus. We did the work and saved so much money in three months that they paid our bonus immediately and refreshed it with new goals and another bonus.
Vendor lock in is not just a cloud problem. Bad architecture and procurement choices can result in on-prem operating headaches and lock in.
