https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/09/unisuper-google-cloud-issue-account-access "Google Cloud accidentally deletes UniSuper's online account due to `unprecedented misconfiguration' Super fund boss and Google Cloud global CEO issue joint statement apologising for `extremely frustrating and disappointing' outage" Well, I work on GIS. A points cloud is something that one has to interpret, looking at it from far, and that disappears once you zoom for a special information. This is also an inorganized collection of data (this is only the one who looks at it from far that organizes the picture). For it to be useful, it has to be replaced by organized information that you extract from it. This is not then a cloud anymore... I guess this also explains why I had from the beginning absolute distrust to the whole hyped thing---whatever the provider. Distributed, load balancing, tightly coupled multiprocessing, fault tolerant internal system: yes. My system "somewhere", administrated by "someone", shared with "everyone": no. -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ kergis +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://kertex.kergis.com/ http://nunc-et-hic.fr/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tad3dc0c93039a7d2-Mf7a94c93692147ae880b5c89 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
