The solution may have a serious cost depending on your architecture. You will have to make sure it is worth the investment. Replicating and keeping a whole infrastructure stand-by is not an easy job for an one-hour outage. Sometimes, it is not the right solution either. It really depends on the business you are in.

Speaking of this. There is always this kind of conclusion every time there is a major outage on a cloud provider. I am not sure one is better than the others. Though, I would prefer to rely on facts and numbers instead of feelings. So, is there a website that monitors and keeps track of this kind of major outages for all the 3 big Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)? So that we can compare their resilience?

My 2 cents without seeming harsh with the author.

Articles with a title `Learn <programming language> in 5 minutes` are misleading. They should be renamed `Discover <programming language> in 5 minutes`. Replace the verb Discover by Introduce or something similar if you like.

There is a lot of difference between learning a new programming language and discovering one.

You will not learn any programming language in 5 minutes.

This introduction to Go is quite nice, though.

Good old times, indeed. The Kali website seems even literally to be stuck in the past (http://kali.net/).

Nostlagia.
