Fear of the unknown

This headline reads like a very surreal self help book title.

Buy a company which already has a vast historical user base and a well known brand for fuckall because it’s dieing, then make it good again and sell it off for more than fuckall.

In my experience using containers has removed requirements for additional engineering cost to deploy between providers because a container is the same wherever it’s running, and all the providers will offer container hosting, and most offer cluster private networking.

Deployment is simplified using something like octopus which can deploy to many destinations in a blue-green fashion with easy rollback.

Doing so is phenomenally expensive.

It’s demonstrably little more expensive than running more instances on the same provider. I only say -little- because there is a marginal administrative overhead.

If you properly divide your instances between providers and regions and use load balancing which uses a corum of 3 availability model then it can be zero downtime pretty fairly guaranteed.

People be cheap and easy tho, so 🤷‍♂️

Crowdstrike No!

Big rally. Wonder how they organised so many people.

TLDR: about 3-ish.

Quick, someone report a bug!
