Cloudexit is an open-source tool for cloud engineers to assess cloud exit strategies. It evaluates risks and offers insights into challenges of leaving a current cloud provider. Using EscapeCloud Community Edition, organizations can prepare better for a cloud exit, ensuring informed decisions: https://github.com/escapecloud/cloudexit

Cloud ist auch heute wieder ein Thema. So hat @adfichter die schwierigen Schweizer Beziehungen zwischen Bund und (US-)Hyperscalern aufgezeigt.

Und natürlich sind da auch Lock-in und Exitstrategien (endlich!) ein Thema.

Genau das richtige für einen Tag ohne geschäftliche Termine 😎

Auch https://european-alternatives.eu/category/payment-service-providers hilft mir nicht weiter 🙃🙃🙃

Bis auf https://european-alternatives.eu/product/stancer sind alle bei #GCP, #AWS oder Clownflare oder anderen Amis 🤮

Are there stories of companies that moved (or tried to) from #M365 to on prem? I'd like to read some experiences. Rarely you hear of exits...

Es ist mit 1-Klick möglich ein 10.000€ teures TV bei #amazon zu bestellen, aber ein Vielfaches mehr an Multi-Klicks wird benötigt um ein #amazon -Konto zu schließen und die Löschung der zugehörigen Daten zu beantragen!

#amazon formuliert das so: "...wir entscheiden dann, welche Daten gelöscht werden..."

Hier soll auf keinen Fall das Gefühl aufkommen, dass man selbst Herr seiner Daten ist und nach der Bestätigung auf den Servern gleich "das Löschen" beginnt... 😑

@uastronomer it's something I.did implement in the past (abeit #KVM + #Proxmox, but the steps are similar enough):

You can seperate #Storage and #Compute given you have a Storage-LAN that is fast enough (and does at least 9k if not 64k Jumbo Frames) and have the "Compute Nodes" entirely #diskless (booting via #iPXE from the #SAN) and then mount the storage via #iSCSI or #Ceph.

• Basically it allows you to scale Compute and Storage independently from each other as they are transparent layers and not be confined to limits of a single chassis & it's I/O options...

Did a bigger project (easily 8-digits in hardware, as per MSRP) where a Employer/Client did #CloudExit amidst escalating costs and #ROI being within quarters (if not months at the predicted growth rate)...

If I pretend like people are reading this far... 😉👋

The irony is likely to be that the companies who are good at using the cloud are going to be the most likely to succeed at #CloudExit.

I also wonder if the savings are quite as much for companies who make use of offerings like Cloud Run, versus ones who try to run managed kubernetes clusters.

There's lots to dig into in all this. My hope is that we don't see it cargo culted.

I've always loved the idea of public "cloud" since day one. I use it both at work and in my own projects. But I've always advised consuming cloud services in a very specific way to ensure best compatibility regardless of where code runs and data is stored.

The idea of #CloudExit intrigues me because despite being bullish on the cloud, I can see how the savings would manifest.

I can however also see the risks if companies were to adopt this philosophy en masse.

Hm, I can't remember that they promised this? A bit of summer, a bit higher temperatures, and the Cloud went down ... Not #Brexit, just #cloudExit
