Each Availability Zone can be multiple data centers.At full scale, it can contain hundreds of thousands of servers. They are fully isolated partitions of the AWS global infrastructure. With its own powerful infrastructure, an Availability Zone is physically separated from any other zones. There is a distance of several kilometers, although all are within 100 km (60 miles of each other).
its more expensive to have more things and it’s more expensive to have more complicated things that are also complex. And things that can fall over are inherently more complicated.
If you have great ability, do t squander it. Get another job where you can be more effective. Find your passion and your fortune will likely follow.
I eschewed advice like the others give, and I didn’t have to work after 35. Yes I got lucky but I also worked hard and failed and got back up and found a place to succeed.
Big companies are mostly for drones.
It is immoral to suggest that the company is obligated to have a human on standby to talk to you whenever you define a desirable need.
Advice I got from another person that went to MIT was to make sure you know what you want to do. He said that a lot of the faculty are world-class (not as big as Cal tech of course :-).
This person told me that if you’re simply going for a general education there are much better places to get that. But if you know what you want to do and you can carpe diem the opportunity to work with world-class experts, you can make things very good.
Don’t worry about your ability to succeed, you will. You’ll also fail a lot. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down it matters how many times you get back up.
