I'm kind of thinking it happens soon. Oracle is laid off so many talented smart people, they've terrified the remaining people with talk about how AI is going to replace them or they're going to get laid off, and they're driving away any kind of decent talent from ever applying...
it turns out being a greedy psychopath a--hole id--t is really expensive
@j1 they did, they just didn’t trigger the failover due to internal politics.
OCI could go down and nobody would notice it.
@j1 if you're a customer of AWS and you press them for details, they will reveal that US East one represents several single points of failure that other regions depend on. Be curious to see if they can come up with an AI agent that can re-architect
This outage only underlines what could happen after people are removed and AI Agents are running the show, until they are not ...
@j1 Right???
You'd think a company as big as Amazon would know better. It boggles the mind.
@e9 Why didn't they have failover set up to another region?
@eb They're probably safer going on prem. Fewer parts to fail and cause outages. As long as they have a good DR strategy, they'll be good.
What a joke. No one uses OCI. No one.
@e6 some of my contracting clients say they're going to start moving away from AWS because of this, it's been a long time coming but on top of not innovating anything related to AI, they want to leave and go back to on-prem for some of their stuff they don't want to go to another cloud provider
We already had an outage like this last year. The Sydney DC was hit by lightning and took everything out for 2 days in the region.
@dt There are different directions an impact could take - the massive internet impact of the AWS outage versus the impact of an OCI outage. It won't be in the same league.
But yeah, as far as impact to the company's reputation, it COULD be huge. Oracle was all about the cloud before the pivot to AI, so who knows? It certainly wouldn't HELP cloud sales, but don't know that it would be an irreparable damage to the company.
@ab the noticeability, notoriety, or the impact as you're putting it, is going about it the wrong way. rather than thinking about total impact, I am thinking more about internally looking inward. I think oci could have a catastrophic crash just like aws.
and because oci is not a monopoly it would be much more damaging to the company
Talented people are already applying other jobs in other IT sectors. Oracle has created fear among staff by laying off mega during last few months, more layoffs are coming apparently. The company knows how to ki-l The morale and motivation of the staff
There is a reason O is trying to make the pivot to cloud AI, regular cloud market growth is approaching maturity.
I can't imagine an OCI outage would have the impact that AWS has. AWS is HUGE. Oracle's OCI is a small fish in the pond where AWS is the whale.
An OCI outage will be noticed and would probably make the news, but not with this kind of impact.
