Amazon's stock didn't even flinch from that big outage. I guess no one thinks many customers will move to alternatives and some probably were just impressed by their near monopoly.

booooooo

@futurebird Moving a service out of AWS is something I’ve helped do. It burns a whole lot of time and has impacts on costs and revenue that are hard to measure let alone predict.

@SistaWendy @futurebird and, most of the competition is worse at it. Google and Microsoft don't host their businesses in their own public cloud offering. Amazon runs on AWS. So, if you move, you're probably downgrading to a worse experience (though I tend to try to avoid AWS, anyway).

@futurebird @swelljoe The complaint that I hear from application developers is that AWS makes things harder than they need to be.

@SistaWendy @futurebird it does, but I assume they're complaining about AWS because they haven't tried to do the same thing in Google Cloud, where it's usually even worse.
