#StrangeButTrueCloudFacts ... a thread (with an exciting announcement at the end)
1. There are still more production apps running on mainframes than in the cloud. Like, *way* more. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
2. The shared responsibility model is not a shared accountability model. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
3. While you debate the meaning of the word "serverless", your competitors are debating whether to eat your business for breakfast or lunch. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
4. Infrastructure optimized for Kubernetes and infrastructure optimized for AWS are, at this time, mutually exclusive. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
5. Six weeks of hacking together a workaround can save you six weeks and one day of waiting for AWS to release the feature you need. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
6. It's not a "private cloud" if everyone can see you fail. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
7. 10x engineers may not exist, but 10* engineers definitely do, and they should not be writing your IAM policies. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
8. If you say "CDK" three times, @ben11kehoe appears and garrotes you with your own infrastructure graph. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
@ben11kehoe 9. You cannot trust "cloud architects" who do not write hands-on code. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
@ben11kehoe 10. OK, announcement time: I just signed a book deal! Look for a ... shall we say unique, cartoon-filled intro to cloud computing in bookstores next year. Much more info soon at forrestbrazeal.com/mailing-list/. And yeah, I'm pretty pumped today. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
