I've picked my fair share of outages on managed k8s solutions. The difference there is once it's hosed, your fate is 100% in the hands of cloud support and well... good luck with that one. The cloud apologists in this thread will ofc try to shame you for not buying into their marketing
if your fate is in the hands of one of the cloud gods, what right does anyone have to blame you for what transpires?
mere mortals are not privy to all of the internal downstream impacts from that public-facing service outage. it would be like shouting into the void and expecting an answer, and, more, liking it.
no, it is easier to recognize one’s place, pay the tithes, and enjoy one god’s blessings and curses alike. do not stray and attempt to please two, it will only end in misery. (three is right out.)
