Heh. We're in the process of moving a service for a few of our larger customers over due to some variety of emergencies, let's keep it at that.

It took us 2-3 days of hustling to get the stuff running and production ready and providing the right answers. This is the "Terraform and Ansible-Stuff" stage of a real failover. In a full infrastructure failover, I'd expect it to take us 1-2 very long days to get 80% running and then up to a week to be fully back on track and another week of shaking out strange issues. And then a week or two of low-availability from the ops-team.

However, for 3 large customers using that product, cybersecurity and compliance said no. They said no about 5-6 weeks ago and project to have an answer somewhere within the next 1-2 months. Until then, the amount of workarounds and frustration growing around it is rather scary. I hope I can contain it to some places in which there is no permanent damage for the infrastructure.

Tech isn't necessarily the hardest thing in some spaces.
