SE I present you the cloud !

[Swimcito]

Hello, SE

So, you could not get physical servers ....

I present you....

-Amazon Web Services.
-Azure Cloud
-Oracle Cloud
-Google Cloud
-VMWare Cloud

You could just do temporary new servers, there and then do a migration to inhouse/physical servers.

This is really lazy from your Cloud Architecture team (if you even have one)

So you know how you get these ideas sometimes that seem like a really good idea, then you find out that everyone else has already thought of that exact thing long before you did? This is one of those that hasn't reached its conclusion for you yet.

People that think this is a realistic solution have virtually zero understanding of cloud computing, or what it means to maintain a service on the scale of this game.

So much of this.... cloud servers are VERY expensive. The operating cost for cloud hosted servers would put our subs up to about $25/month. Alongside this, even Amazon and Google cloud servers aren't limitless.

Im a Cloud Architect, so i guess i'd have no clue...

Still i dont want to say an ad hominem phalasy.

BUT....

They could have rented servers and then do a migration.

Assuming they actually run their code on CISC-based CPUs. If not (and the lack of available hardware seems to suggest this), all of the Cloud Architecture in the world isn't going to help one bit. Well, aside from running Stromasys on top of a bare-metal cloud server.

[This one has worked with physical RISC-based systems for decades, and Cloud-based options for the last 5 years. Want to purchase something from Sun/Oracle (or a cloud solution with any of the major vendors)? Come see me.]

Everyone on the internet is a self-appointed expert on everything.

Interesting how every scientist and political expert also happens to be an anonymous Redditor and Facebook grandma huh?

remember when the top scientists told us to do this with C and then NOT TO DO THIS.... and then they said it was fine to do this and then NO DON;T do that and then 3 months later oh no you should do that... i won't go into details but as someone who works for the NHS and with c-19 I can tell you the TOP experts don't know jack most of the time.

[NegativeS]

Man, why don't more people think of that?

Oh wait, it's because it's prohibitively expensive or simply not feasible for the desired scale.
