Quit. A company that writes you up for telling the truth (or, worst case, giving your expert opinion as a technical professional) does not deserve you.

Wyatt Flores
People that say "the cloud is just someone else's computer" are insufferable
nothing wrong with what you said, the fact that you got written up for "disrespect" shows that the company you work at is run by insecure people who don't want their self-percieved intelligence tampered with either that, or you were acting like an asshole about it >actually, mr [last name], if you weren't as tech illiterate as you are you'd know that the cloud is someone else's computer, and a lack of basic knowledge such as that proves your incompetence and gives you no right to comment on this

For what you are saying to be true, cloud would have to be solely virtualization.
Today, opening the AWS console would make your head spin if you were new to everything. SQS, a message queuing application, is one example of something that makes creating applications easier in that space. Yes, you can use any MQ service, but then you need to manage them, and monitor them for reliability. This is just one example of many. It is not "someone else's computer".
Even just plain ole EC2 is tons of strung together distributed systems in order to launch an instance for you. The network protocol and software-defined networking that allow you to have VPC/security groups are not simply "someone else's computer". The metadata service curling information from your localhost, creation of volumes and snapshots, preparing your own machine images, etc. These are not just "someone else's computer".
What you are actually referring to are old school hosting providers like OVH. That is in fact someone else's computer. There's a different though, and you are either being ignorant to it with this claim, or you know better but think you are being clever, further supporting
Dylan Gutierrez
So, the cloud is just other people's computers?
Ian Diaz
The cloud is more secure
If it wasn't all the cloud companies would be sued into oblivion
Blake Williams
Different user here, by the definition of the word "computer", yes. But the implication the other user is picking up is you mean "hurr my desktop tower is a server", which is incorrect.
Ryder Mitchell
>>I say, the cloud is just someone else's computer and is as secure as such.
cloud is more than just "someone else's computer" jesus christ when will this meme die?
Benjamin Bailey
The other day I was working on something and my boss came up to me and said >"Are you ready to receive a message from me?" and I said >"I am read to receive a message from you" and then he said >"OK" and told me his message.
Right after that I told him we just did a threeway handshake and explained its a basic part of internet communications. He just stared at me then asked if I was going to do the thing he asked me to do.
Brayden Carter
>an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.
Software and features don't really fall into this. These are things run on someone else's computer, as is the rest of the internet, but even a vanilla EC2 instance is more than "someone else's computer".

Right. I manage a handful of dev and prod servers, I'm just saying that by the very definition, a server is a computer. There are major differences, both in hardware and software, but at a base level a server's a computer, in the same way at a base level, my smartphone's a computer.
Lucas Evans
and what about a service? is that a computer too?
Gabriel Green
>Times when showing your autism went wrong
Owen Walker
Depends on what you mean by service.
Liam Gonzalez
And I'm saying that when people say "cloud" today, referring to things like AWS/GCP/Azure, the last thing they are concerned about is the server on which it runs. They are there for the features and managed services that reduce operational burden from managing everything onsite.
Is API Gateway "someone else's computer"? Is lambda that? Eventually something will get run on someone else's computer, but cloud services are not just someone else's computer.
Gavin Roberts
literally this. only butthurt faggots say "someone else's computer"
probably on suicide watch sysadmin cucks.
Blake Hill
We are in agreement.
Eli Ross
>le cloud computing is bad meme
>tfw these technophobe shitters will never feel offloading all the work to the cloud its almost 2 years since we moved all of our databases, repo and other dev projects. zero fucking downtime baby with all the bells and whistles meme like load balancing and firewalls
Dylan Roberts
Docker's definitely helped on our end man, Nomad to do regional shit, Kubernetes for the less important projects. Absolutely wonderful.
Anthony Barnes
the sad thing is I'm literally a "sysadmin" too. though I'm all on board with this shit. literally being a sysadmin and managing shitty crap sucks asshole. literally the worst job i ever had; even worse than being in hs and making shtity webapps for shitty people.
Bentley Myers
I sort of agree with this OP. At the very best it's a liability shift if something does happen.

Landon Barnes
Milk the cash cow until the udders bleed, they obviously won't listen to people who know what they're talking about, so no sense in helping. You can, however, re-introduce your plan once launch crashes and burns like the Hindenberg. Just make sure to make it super obvious that you have already introduced this plan before the current one started without being a dick about it. Best of both worlds.

Yep, just went and looked. I think it's a registry tweak, that's how most of Winaero Tweaker works.
not sure if i can execute that strategy. never had time to get around to a full fledged plan. >hiring manager decided 2 days/week face time was OK to run a business >it took us 6 months to replace him. >new hiring manager given paramaters: 6 month pay freeze, can only offer 10% below market until jan 2018 >53 hours/week for me and team, just to keep the lights on, worry about the future later
it gets worse, owner hired (((coach))) to be gm. >(((coach))) forced to become director when previous director was caught embezelling >(((coach))) is now my direct supervisor my humble opinion: coach is gambling with house money
not die, but we'll stay on the same platform double dipping: cost of ops on current platform + dev for new platform runs us -$10k/day gonna stay here until health problems subside, i just don't care anymore. shame, i used to love our product.

Saying "the cloud is just someone else's computer" is like saying "a man is just 200 lbs of meat". That's not ALL a man is, but it is certainly true that a man IS (roughly) 200 lbs of meat, and in certain situations that may be the only thing about a man that matters.
I'll be convinced that cloud computing is as secure as in-house computing when you find me a bank that does its payment processing in the cloud.

Cloud computing is for companies where IT is just a cost and is unrelated to their products, financial services now are 100% IT now.

absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I suggest to read a book, nigger: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_absence and btw, there are lots of known vulnerabilities/attacks against virtual machines, though most of them are difficult to exploit
