I hate Clouds - a personal perspective on why I think Clouds suck (loudwhisper.me)

I hope this won't be counted as some form of self-promotion, even though I am sharing a post from my own blog.

As a tech worker who works in a Cloud shop, I wanted to elaborate the many reasons why I find working with Clouds terrible, from multiple points of view.

I tried to organize my thoughts in a (relatively long) post, in which both technical aspects and political aspects (which are very related) are covered.

I am sure many people will have different perspectives, and this could be potentially also a nice prompt for a discussion.

You write "actually following best practice instead of faking it and lying" funny.

Are you implying that the various cloud vendors lie about the way they configure their environments or admins don't have emotional biases or something else entirely?

There are places that actually do that?

Can you provide a list, because I'd like to work there.

(I do not have 25 years of sysadmin angst over nobody ever doing shit right until after it's on fire.)
