Why do you, Apple?

Amazon BsxG17 Nov 3, 2022

Host Twitter sever on teslas

If twitter could save a billion they would've done it by now lol

H2O.ai HomeBrewer Nov 3, 2022

Not necessarily, there could be lots of inefficiencies. Setting an initiative can help

Amazon kcknxxnd Nov 3, 2022

By 50%?

Databricks flixster Nov 3, 2022

That should be a given if they hemorrhage users like threatened

Amazon WzAq92 Nov 3, 2022

Yup, fewer users lower infra costs. Problem solved. ヾ⁠(⁠*⁠’⁠O⁠’⁠*⁠)⁠/

Elon is brilliant. Less users means less infrastructure, which saves him money. Very well executed in the first 3 days as Twitter CEO

They can't put their shits on AWS or it will be banned for abuse just like parler

Google pomegrana Nov 3, 2022

Parler actually was shit though. Even with Musk, Twitter won’t allow organizing riots to break into federal government buildings like Parler is fine with. Parler is like 8chan, Twitter will be like Reddit.

Square JeHV56 OP Nov 3, 2022

Nah, with Amazon's stock in the shitter I don't think AWS would want to lose out on a Twitter contract.

What is current average CPU / Memory utilization / Disk utilization? Also, I know Twitter uses GCP for some things

Amazon lovemeboo Nov 3, 2022

These boys about to sign with AWS leggo

Google pomegrana Nov 3, 2022

AWS is way more expensive than what they’ve already got by hosting their own servers…

Amazon lovemeboo Nov 3, 2022

AWS is way more expensive than anybody’s servers haha

Here comes the shitty part about the takeover. Just make tweets load twice as slow.

TripAdvisor OzUj53 Nov 3, 2022

Or remove the servers that validate content

Cisco BayArea408 Nov 3, 2022

Will the last user leaving Twitter please turn off the server?

Salesforce kalqpwodb Nov 3, 2022

Time for the smaller,cheaper cloud services to pounce!

Elon is starting a company to solve that problem. Is called EgoCloudX
