The US Government is planning to utilise #AWS to host their security-critical services (such as 911, callcenters, tax processors, and others.)
I don't think this is a good idea, as #Amazon has been shown to be expensive for their high reliability. I don't want my tax dollars to go to such a service, when my experience has shown much better options.
@joebiden what about #GCP instead? Way cheaper, and it being google, with their advanced #SRE experience, they surely will have a better reliability befit of a government project.
@jo Guessing you realise you are talking to the fuckgov joe biden and not the threads joe biden
:p
@wyatt8740 there's a difference?
@jo I'm waiting for the "Google deletes United States" headlines.
And yes, if some estimates suggest AWS being cheap for a big solution, it's probably not counting all the costs, not using the services, or not reliable.
