Atlassian hasn’t had a great history of
- Understanding cloud
- Deploying anything reliable into the cloud
Now they’re 100% SAAS? This is gonna be sad.
“The Cloud” just means “someone else’s sever”. A lot of people who should know better just don’t get that.
It’s entertaining to take almost any internal memo or external press release and substitute “someone else’s server” every time “the cloud” appears. They all suddenly look insane.
My company recently migrated from on-premise to AWS to “save money”; in the first month we now have test environment instances which we shut down outside of business hours because of high cost.
Great, so work gets done slower AND we pay more? Fucking genius.
Cloud is a sick joke to capture revenue.
I miss having data centres.
It was fine to run a SQL query that took 6 hours because the cost was a few dollars.
Now that cost is thousands of dollars.
Hurray!
AWS
save money
lmao
Yeah, but it’s OpEx, so it’s just imaginary expenditure.
You’re gonna get some “git gud scrub” responses, but really the high cost is just what everyone discovers; it’s just your turn.
In both my jobs I went through the eager take-up of (pub) cloud and saas schemes, and then the eventual 90% repatriation of compute.
Turns out it’s still cheaper to run your own team with your own prov-cloud gear in a DC. Like, usually by a good amount. Yes, Virginia, even if you’re a black belt cloud master of saas (which is just sales and kool-aid).
I work in the hosting business. We have servers and create VMs and have backups. The customer can have as much control of the VM as they chose including locking us out. (They take on the risk as well if course.) We have pretty decent margins on hosting and offer to help out with configuration and such for billable hours and I often feel like what we charge are ridiculous. Yet we have potential customers demanding to see our hidden fees (we have none) and some explanation of how we can be so cheap. Some simply refuse to believe our prices when compared to the giant clouds.
so ig ReactOS issue tracker and Minecraft issue tracker needs to migrate (both use Jira)
but i think Minecraft will stay with the SaaS optionYup, migrating the docs from on-prem confluence to the cloud one has just been an utter disaster in my company.
I don’t even want to know how much we pay for this shit.
Depends on seat count. But even a “small” (the smallest bucket of seats is 500) on prem install of data center/confluence can be in 6 figures…
