So Twitter has been down for a while now. Facebook was throwing empty pages yesterday. Make’s one think how ready Cloud Computing really is. I know it’s been all over that Cloud applications are to encounter more frequent but less disruptive service outages, but what does this really mean? Saving a buck out of recovery or maintainence costs?
I’m by no means an expert in the subject but got enough brains to realize “downtime” is BAD. Now it’s not to say that it’s not expected as in all application delivery streams, but it’s definitely not something that’s favorable to anyone providing or using such services either.
I look forward to seeing what’s going to come out of the Cloud Computing World Forum and the Cloud Computing Expo in the next couple of weeks.
