"Switching from OpenSearch to running elastic search ourselves did require some initial setup, but we're not changing the size of the team at all in the longterm to accommodate for this switch. Because running things on premise is not a materially different scope of work from running it in the cloud. That's the whole premise behind our overall cloud exit: The team it takes to run our scale of operations in the cloud wasn't any less than what it takes to run that same scale on our own hardware."

and thats the rub... in generic enterprise land everyone has there own ES cluster multiregion to support 100GB of data and 50 rds dbs that could run one instance... what even is a DBA in today's world?

Is they why they changed the license? they got a hint google was releasing a product based on Terraform?

"The configuration should be actuatable by Terraform version 1.2.3."

So its currently pinned to an older Terraform release...

A guide to corporate awareness. Great to read every year to make sure you're not lost in the madness.

The merger of these threads really takes away the scope of the announcements made and the different discussions being had. The editorializing and changing of URL really alters the environment for conversation in a way that's not healthy and hurts the scope of these things. Then the second highest comment on the thread becomes about the design layout on the page.

So be it if Microsoft/Apple/Google/Android/Amazon/Uber is on the front page multiple times...

Fortunately they can continue buying released products and help the masses have an option for repairs.

Universal search (once a part of Android) has long been stripped out due to patent issues with Apple.

The app permissions system on Android is all or nothing. Which I think would benefit from a more rigorous approval process. All the access is disclosed though before install.

Glad the world has options.
