The cloud is like those portable toilets in public. They are private, but there are also people around you at all times. Sometimes you forget to lock the door and someone else opens it.



I like this analogy. They're full of shit and you only use them if you have absolutely no alternatives.


Are you meaning to say that a big accident in a public cloud like AWS or Azure is waiting to happen?

I did have something weird the other day in AWS. I was accessing a K8S hosted website in my clients tenant, and I got an SSL handshake issue. Turns out the certificate served wasn't of my clients website, but of some dev-xxxx.polar.com. That environment wasn't externally accessible as the domain cannot be resolved in public DNS and I assume that the environment itself is also shielded. After refreshed, the issue was gone and I could access the client site again.


Azure in particular
