I hope this won’t be counted as some form of self-promotion, even though I am sharing a post from my own blog.

As a tech worker who works in a Cloud shop, I wanted to elaborate the many reasons why I find working with Clouds terrible, from multiple points of view.

I tried to organize my thoughts in a (relatively long) post, in which both technical aspects and political aspects (which are very related) are covered.

I am sure many people will have different perspectives, and this could be potentially also a nice prompt for a discussion.

    trust AWS engineers more than Mike, no matter how cool Mike is

    1. AWS engineers’ first responsibility is to shareholders

    2. Mike’s responsibility is to your same boss.

    They are not the same.

    Bonus: you can see Mike’s certs are real.

      It’s not about responsibility (and only the c suite reports to the shareholders, not Mike), it’s about capability, visibility, tooling and availability.
