      Great thread about cloud strategy from the consuming companies’ point of view.https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1103452916243849216 …

      So people are piling on to Keith for daring to suggest that multi-cloud may not be a winning strategy. Allow me to chime in and outright state that multi-cloud for a generic workload is, absent a compelling business reason, a moronic default. https://twitter.com/CTOAdvisor/status/1103034794781429761 …

      Having a single supplier for a critical business function means you're just one billing/contract dispute away from being out of business.

      I don’t know, if a startup spends a million dollars on AzureWebCloud and the world’s dumbest Billing operations subteam kills their account and somehow manages to make that decision stick, the startup can pretty easily cost AmaGooSoft a billion dollars in enterprise value via HN.

          That may be true for hot YC companies. For the rest of us, if complaints on HN made that much of a difference, I'd think the App Store review process would be less hostile, Google would never discontinue a product (or raise Maps prices), and Oracle would be out of business.

          The difference in those cases is a) importance to business and b) readily available credible alternatives. Perceived heft of the startup is pretty irrelevant to whether their thread gets stickied to top of HN for next 48 hours.

          Can we at least agree that multi-cloud is called Amagoozure.

          That sounds like a Babylonian demon whose only joy is tormenting engineering teams... ... Alright, Amagoozure it is.

          (This is a pretty remarkable statement about the world, but I don’t think it is untrue. Two of those three companies are in the-knives-are-our competition for each YC class and a 20% swing in market share for a class plausibly requires one credible “X cannot be trusted” post.)

          Which is why Amazon was never going to cancel AMI’s AWS contract bc David Pecker tried to get cute with Bezos.
