You’re right, though. AWS has far more data centers/regions. Even if a company only uses AWS, they can set up High Availability/Disaster Recovery solutions that replicate across AWS regions.

But they won’t because:

• management doesn’t understand the technology, just “cloud good”.
• the experienced tech workers who do understand that you still need HADR in the cloud have all been laid off or retired.
• redundancy costs…wait for it…money.

So at Universal Halloween Horror Nights they have Freddy Fazbear’s spaghetti pizza.

Now spaghetti pizza you could argue is not quite as bad as a spaghetti taco, but I really thought spaghetti pizza was an abomination.

That. Shit. Was. Straight. Fire.

The spaghetti pizza was so good that I’m sad now that I genuinely don’t know of I am ever going to have that specific meal again…maybe I can order a cheese pizza and make some spaghetti and meatballs and slap it on top? I just don’t think it will be the same.

Anywho…I would definitely try those spaghetti tacos.

Found the IT “Rockstar”.

Not every person is the same.

Rules and processes and documentation and change management often times equals stability and repeatable successes. Some people thrive in this environment.

Moving fast and breaking shit with no rules or processes or documentation or change management often times leads to outages and an environment where you have to be the hero or a real IT “rockstar” to be successful. Some people thrive in this environment.

If you don’t like all the rules and processes and documentation and change management, then you should know thyself and find a different job.
