I don’t even want to hear an argument for moving back on prem with how badly Broadcom/VMware ripped our eyes out this year. 350% increase over 2 years ago, and I still have to buy the hardware, secure it in a room, power it, buy redundant Internet and networking equipment, get a backup facility, buy and test a generator/UPS, and condition the damn air. Oh then every few years we have to switch out all the hardware when it stops getting vendor support.
At least everyone was all in the same boat today, and we all know what was broken.
I had surgery today and couldn’t pick up my meds at the pharmacy because my insurance uses AWS somewhere in the billing process. We had to pay out of pocket and pray we get reimbursed because they’re expensive. This took 6 phone calls to find out and overall, sucked. I didn’t think AWS going down could affect my damn insurance.
In any sane place, with sane laws, they would just have to approve everything until they fix their own shit.
Jeez, that’s messed up. I’m so sorry! I hope you’re able to get reimbursed without much more trouble, and I hope your recovery goes well!
