I once saw someone serve a static website using Lambda functions and that sounds pretty ok (a series of S3 buckets with maybe some fancy routing) in reality it was lambda that was dynamically rendering all the html

Remember when spot prices for ec2 instances in us-east were like five times the price of spot instances in other availability zones because no one took az's seriously and just used the default?

you mean region?

AZs have always had account specific identifiers, so amazon has at least a small amount of control over which AZs see the most action within a region. (i.e. my us-east-1a might be your us-east-1c)

i still mainly work with aws, but aws-style regions seem like such an odd anti-pattern after getting used to gcp.

I haven't worked with GCP in a year or two, but aren't they essentially the same? 10 or so regions with names like us-east1 made up of 3+ availability zones each

I know some aws regions don't have the full 3 zones, but what are the other differences?

ive never used gcp but i just googled it and

quote:

Compute Engine resources are hosted in multiple locations worldwide. These locations are composed of regions and zones. A region is a specific geographical location where you can host your resources. Regions have three or more zones. For example, the us-west1 region denotes a region on the west coast of the United States that has three zones: us-west1-a, us-west1-b, and us-west1-c.

isnt this the same thing

sorry i just meant the way it organizes everything. if you're in aws and you want to work on something cross-region, you're looking at say us-east-1 and need to actually switch the console view to us-central-1 to view your resources in that region. in gcp, the things are arranged by project and all of your resources across the project are displayed together regardless of the region of a specific instance.

oh. i cant remember the last time i've logged into the console to do anything.

a buddy of mine has an aws account so big if he loads the aws web console they hit the API limits (the web ui uses the same API endpoints as the cli tools do) before everything loads and then they cant do anything for a few minutes.

I have a feeling most people who develop the web consoles for the major cloud providers primarily use their CLI and/or APIs for everything. There's an intense feeling of "why are you even here" to most of them.

That's the stuff. And then some research center would soak up all of us-east-1d's spot instances for an afternoon trying to square a circle or something, so everyone else would get out-bid and all their spot instances would poof into ether

thats how the documentation is even written. there's things you can't even do in the web ui.

conversely there are some services (chatbot is the one that immediately comes to mind) that cant be created/modified in cli/sdk and are only configurable from console.

I tried to give an IAM user the ability to launch and stop and terminate their own EC2 images and assumed it was about as easy to grok as S3 perms and hosed it up and there’s so much loving documentation I can’t be bothered to read :o:

yeah, say what you want about Azure (and it has a lot of issues), but at least its console has a unified view and unified search unlike AWS.
