Florian Haas on Nostr: Serious question: why do we have "flavors" in cloud computing? They've been around ...
Serious question: why do we have "flavors" in cloud computing? They've been around ever since EC2 started, but is there a good reason for them? The bin packing problem is NP-hard; reducing the permutations of cores/RAM/disk space per instance doesn't make it more solvable in principle. Do flavors allow for better or more efficient approximations? Is it purely a marketing/billing thing (why)? Or is it just cargo cult?
(Feels like something
npub1slyc6w2fy6t7sk7e5caxclu2dn629l35n4tkjyxzrqndkpq86x2sfut8j7 (npub1sly…t8j7) might know a thing or two about).
Boosts OK.
