Everything about the "service" they provide seems identical to parasitic rent seeking landlords leeching off of the rest of society.They're gross toll booth operators that do little to nothing to benefit the wider network.Am I wrong?
Just too young to remember the days of common ddos website attacks
>>108188412vgh, take me back bros
>>108188412None of those things have anything to do with cuckflare.

>>108188412>Just too young to remember the days of common ddos website attacksaren't there ways for small networks to counter those attacks?Is the risk of a ddos really worth being a slave to these corps?
Amazon is the new Cisco.They've built the perfect system where they convinced corpos to migrate away from on premises and then they made the same corpos get 100% certified on AWS, releasing new gimmicky certs every year.What happens when AWS goes down or a new cloud takes over? Welp good luck using that architect cert for anything else.
>>108188533what do people even use it for? I went from AWS to Azure at my current job and they're both basically the same bag of shit. I don't fucking get it. do people really use all these shit services that cost gorillians and have lower performance than some rack mount server in your closet?
>>108188542Companies don't want to bother with software and hardware lifecycles. They want to run lambdas, ECSes and have gateways readly available at any time.I gotta be honest, I think lambdas are quite neat.
>>108188542It's so you don't have to hire a dedicated guy to make sure the database stays up. Also helps when you don't know how many users you're going to get and want to be able to scale faster than buying and installing a new server rack to meet the demand. Granted most companies don't actually need this
>>108188581fair enough, but all the big clouds offer managed databases.I'm using Azure SQL for the same reason, because M$ can manage their shit better than our onprem team, I just don't understand the hyper fixation on Amazon. They seem to be complete shit.
>>108188607>hyper fixationBezos-kun was smart in the sense that he sold companies his services for cheap in the beginning, made them all migrate their onprem structure and had their teams get certified in AWS.Nowadays migrating away from AWS is too much of a pain in the ass, and you'd have to get your IT team recertified into say, Azure or Google Cloud. What happens is that you see companies that fell for it trying to include other companies into the scam so they don't look so bad.
>>108188607Probably since Amazon was the first to market and entrenched itself while the others took a few years for their offerings to be available
>>108188397You can choose to not use them just as you can choose to not rent and build your own home.
>>108188503>Is the risk of a ddos really worth being a slave to these corps?If you lose more money on a DoS attack than what you pay to Cloudflare then yes. Unfortunately might I add.

>>108188397why is every addition to the original parody image so retarded? is some zoomzoom discord group pumping these out? it's like they're trying to ruin the joke.
>>108188397>Am I dumbyeah, you are.
>>108188637>migration is hardHmm maybe we need a Free:tm: cloud service provider that uses open standards and configurations to make migration easy. I guess it could be a distributed system of volunteers.Of course it is not feasible since consumers cannot bear the hardware needs of industry. Fun to think about though.
>CloudFlareAh yes, the company that "secured' every election 2016 onwards
Nah fuck em
>>108188476kek, thisalso no TSMC
