Remember when we could do this on Apple hardware with reckless abandon?

#apple #hardware #laptop #ethernet #DirectConnect #NoDongle #SoUseful

Working on #AWS #Outposts (on-prem rack in your data centre, an extension of your cloud AZ) brings in a shift in a few paradigms.

My issue of this week was that the link to S3 is going through a much narrower bottleneck than in the cloud. Even when using #DirectConnect, it is only a fraction of the speed you normally get AND you lose the massive scaling of S3. Outposts support their own local S3, but storage is too limited for AMI and other backups.

Would love to write more when we are live.
