ELI5: Why the absolute hell did SE not use Azure or AWS as a temporary solution?

[Tanis_Ebonhart]

They tried using AWS. It didn't work and they literally explained why.

If anyone thought of it then I assure you that they have already tried it.

Please at least Google search this before asking.

Isn't failing to do anything for the last nine months to improve servers to prepare for this launch when they have the data to show their MoM growth and historical data to show the increase in returning players for an expansion even worse? It's not like the idea is "do it in 2 days" but they had MONTHS to prepare for this launch and have utterly failed in that regard.

You work for them? Is that how you got that they aren't doing anything? Please.
