Interview with Cloud Architect in 2025 (Category Architecture)

Watched a funny five-minute show. video The modern approach to building solutions in the cloud. It perfectly laughs at the typical problems and absurd situations faced by cloud architects – the essence of the contradiction between the promises of cloud providers and the harsh reality: The cloud economy, where architects receive “personal thank-you letters from cloud providers for meeting their Q1 revenue targets,” sarcastically highlights how profitable cloud services are for vendors rather than customers.

• Complexity of tasks, where for "Hello World in the cloud includes 1x load balancer, 2x database, 3x web servers and 2x different cloud geo-fences for observability stack" On microservices, where "we have more programming languages than developers" Observability, where the cost of logs is higher than the cost of the entire service About overcommit, where the usual CPU comes to 100%, and the cloud CPU reaches 110% - there's a different physics.

In general, I recommend looking at the original - the concentration of jokes is really impressive.
