“Nobody gets fired for using aws” is pretty big now a days. We use GCP but if they have an issue and it bubbles down to me nobody bats an eye when I say the magical cloud man made ut oh whoopsie and it wasn’t me.

That’s because your CTO is getting raked over the coals.

They just think it’s something they can justify- cloud is synonymous with velocity and the perception of lower staffing costs.

A little bit of unavailability is seen as a fair trade off.

This is my impression as a c-level.
