    Oh yeah, by all means, stop using all Amazon related services, then realize that about 50% of web services for banking, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, telecommunications, research and development, industry, transportation, healthcare and energy are hosted on AWS

    “Oh but my service is hosted on GCP”

    Yeah and what do you think is the fallback in case of DRP?

      Yes AWS is the standard for most of the internet, but do you think Amazon won’t notice if a whole bunch of users en masse decide to stop buying things from their warehouses?

        I think their store is but a fraction of what they make in AWS, but you have a point.

      I mean we can all do our small part. 🤷‍♂️ Something is better than nothing.

        No, they’re totally right and should continue to spend every dollar they earn on Amazon while bemoaning the death of small businesses.

          I… don’t understand this. It’s like it’s only 50% sarcasm somehow.

      They have much more built out offerings, but smaller hosting providers and on-premise are always an option regardless. Obviously not including “Azure”.
