Ah, but that's still one basket.
- Bratmon 1y agoDoes... Does the writer of this piece think the phrase only applies to literal baskets?
- jsiepkes 1y agoWild that people don't realize that these "separate" systems in AWS all share things like the same control plane.
- PartiallyTyped 1y agoThat is wrong in every way possible. Each service is isolated, has its own control plane, and often even split into multiple cells.

- akerl_ 1y agoYou’ve missed the point by leaning into your pedantry. The point is that from the perspective of vendor/platform risk (things like account closure, billing disputes, etc), all of AWS is the same basket, even if you use multiple regions and services.
- PartiallyTyped 1y agoI dismissed the claim that they share a single control panel across services because it is false. I dismissed that claim alone and talked about nothing else. The comment I replied to added nothing to the conversation except an unsubstantiated and plainly false remark. > Wild that people don't realize that these "separate" systems in AWS all share things like the same control plane. This comment does not say anything about all being in one basket. It only claims that all services run the same control plane which is so far from truth it must have been made from somebody utterly unaware of how big cloud teams operate. Seems that this community has lost the ability to reason and converse and would rather be outraged.
- jsiepkes 1y ago> must have been made from somebody utterly unaware of how big cloud teams operate. Nice, an attack on the person rather then the argument. Made from an anonymous Internet account. > Seems that this community has lost the ability to reason and converse and would rather be outraged. This might be a good time to reflect on your own online behavior.
- senderista 1y agoNot sure why you’re being downvoted, this is 100% correct from someone else who worked there.
- ImPostingOnHN 1y ago> Not sure why you’re being downvoted If you're not sure why someone is being downvoted, there's a good chance there is a misunderstanding somewhere, and a good way for you to understand is to wait for people to comment, and then read those comments. Alternatively (and in a more general sense), if you want to take a more active role in your learning, a good way to learn is to ask questions, and then read the answers.
- PartiallyTyped 1y agoThere is no misunderstanding involved. HN is often too emotional and will downvote and upvote whatever supports their beliefs or outrage du jour.

- stefan_ 1y agoDo all these cells and control planes run different software built by different teams? I mean, sure every Ford Pinto is strictly it's own vehicle, but each will predictably burst into flames when you impinge its fuel tank and I don't wanna travel on a company operating an all Pinto fleet.
- PartiallyTyped 1y agoYes. And parts of each control plane are written by different teams and each component is isolated.
