@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWhy not let the infra team cook?14:10:45
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusThey know the best, no?14:10:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusOf course, this does not preclude a form of long term check up on the health of the things :)14:11:24
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožargiven the discussion we're having I have doubts14:11:25
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarto be honest14:11:37
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAt 10k/mo, the choice of CF matters little14:13:41
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusEither we have 10k/mo and we can buy 1PB every 2 months14:13:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusEither we don't and then this is a completely different discussion14:14:02
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusIn the case we have, I don't see why we need to impose cloud providers on infra team14:14:18
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa That backlog tho 14:14:47
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAnd if infra team wants cloud providers, this is the role of Foundation to find the money yes and find ways to make it work14:14:46
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa When will I ever catch up 14:14:59
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožar

we are not imposing cloud providers, but requirements:

  • host cache with 99.99999% reliability
  • do that for as little money as possible
14:15:01
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa Reliability requires overprovisioning 14:15:23
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaryeah :)14:15:37
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa Its always a trade-off 14:15:38
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusReliability is not even totally defined14:15:56
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusIt's either availability or durability14:16:03

????????
14:16:10
@delroth:delroth.netdelrothwhoever will sell you this kind of reliability SLA is lying to you14:16:22
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentzedo any cloud providers even have 7-nines SLAs for this kind of service?14:16:59
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa 7 neins! 14:17:10
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja HentzeI've never seen anything beyond 5 nines14:17:10
@delroth:delroth.netdelroth Wanja Hentze: yeah and we have two layers (Fastly -> EC2) so the failure rates multiply 14:17:44
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaranother reason to use cloudflare ;)14:17:57
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius
In reply to @domenkozar:matrix.org
another reason to use cloudflare ;)
CF doesn't give that
14:18:11
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentzeat my employer we run 5-nines on our own hardware but that's about the limit of what you can achieve anyway14:18:29
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa Traffic doesnt matter within the bandwidth alliance fwiw 14:18:39
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentze7-nines is not a thing on the internet IME14:18:49
@delroth:delroth.netdelrothnobody outside of like aerospace does more than 5-nines14:19:04
