Re: Disaster recover?
yawn... "Damn you kids and your cloud!"
Should people not use datacenters? Is the average website needing punter expected to build it's own fire-suppression system?
Hosting your own website, on premise, is generally a pretty dumb idea. Having no backup is a dumb idea too...
That chess website is a pretty good example of doing cloud correctly. On their own, they could never have been distributed like they are now, and barely bleep at a "once per generation" event like your datacenter being razed by fire.
Doing it wrong, and doing it right are concepts that will survive everything. Shacking your fist at the clouds does not accomplish much.
