It doesn't necessarily mean the GaaSs (and equally PaaSs) will utilize the new region, there's a couple reasons, sometimes dependent services are rolled out slowly elsewhere - e.g. bigquery, cloud/pub, even their end user Workmail has limited regions, in addition sometimes the egress network and compute charges could be a multiple of us-east/west making the offering prohibitively expensive, and then it depends on the local connectivity itself, if major eyeball / gamer ISPs won't peer initially it might just be as well hosting in nearest Europe region to avoid the double RTL - you see this effect in markets like Singapore with Singtel, Germany with DTAC, and to a degree US with Comcast when server providers pick up local transit from HE/cogent even NTT in some parts - when AWS opened Singapore it was universally terrible routing until they got aggressive about peering and remote peering in the region.
Impractical to many, you still look like an idiot talking to your rist, just a 3.5" android from a major OEM (good battery and build, no spyware) will suffice.
Today, maybe. Btw, a side line to the point as do qualify your defintion, other peoples'' definition of casual and very casual vary a lot, I know people that if a pack lasts more than one day they consider that casual.
I'm not sure that's a good tip, presumably if you get lung cancer they can still detect if you are or have been a casual smoker for a non-trivial amount of time. In addition, you might put 'No' on signup and be accepted, but a lot of due diligence (uncovering your real history) is done at the time of claim i.e. they contact any past doctors and all surrounding hospitals for medical reports related to your past. Admittedly there is a lot more leeway for insurance companies in Asia to pursue their denials any way they see fit since we don't have a first world grasp of privacy or anything remotely like GDPR.
I think it's referring to copying just part of the flow, where the terminal ends might not be connected, so per project/target you just wire up a repository to side A, and a deploy target to side B. Flows being a shareable description of part of the processing pipeline, where the testing/slack notification/approval workflow/building is standardized perhaps.. . (maybe I've been reading too much Akka streams)
Any minute now someone will compare this price to triple replicated, multiple availability zone, fully managed, object storage from one of the big three... Any minute..
A lot of context can be lost in 1 to 1s, however it doesn't mean they can't exist. Often I'll say let's take this to #dev so a) stakeholders are involved b) it's not just a line item on an invoice. If we're just talking shit or having a moan then 1 to 1 is fine
AWS is total crap? We received great support and advice for just $30month extra with AWS. It wasn't emergency support granted but helped us with various cloudwatch setup detailsm
Hopefully they can fix their shitty unreliable and buggy app, but I don't think there is any hope for their non existent customer service, beyond repair. Grab bought out Uber in SE Asia and literally no one is happy about it. #bringBackUber
There are downsides to KL, but in my opinion its not either of those.
House prices - Not according to https://www.propertyguru.com.my, I looked up Cyberjaya as an example (~15mins on train to KL sentral) and freehold $120,000usd for a 4bedroom/2bathroom place, 1 bedroom condo for much less. That would buy you half a car parking place in Hong Kong (on leasehold no less). Regardless you'd just rent anyway, at least for first few years, $300-$400pm for a nice serviced condo with pool/gym. No point buying unless you eventually get a permanent residence.
English language - I never had a problem with English in KL or Penang or even Alor Setar, except maybe one of the old roadside tea vendors, but that's probably my northern accent. It might not be Singapore or HKG level but it aint significantly off.
It's a lot more variable than surrounding countries in that you're more chance of winning the lottery than finding a coffee shop / restaurant / bar with usable internet, or working government sponsored free internet but 4G sim cards and coworking spaces, and chain hotels, it works well.
Cyberjaya is like the upcoming tech scene of KL imo. It has a growing number co-working spaces, plenty of decent accommodation for low prices, hosts many of big data centers including IBM, doesn't suffer from the traffic issues of the center, parks and greenery, air feels clean, is 15minutes from airport or 15mintues to KL sentral via the train etc.. I usually stay Citadines at DPulze which puts you pretty central and above a shopping centre, it's quite sparse so you'll need to GrabTaxi to different co-working places etc... If by action you mean nightlife it's meh, there a little pretend irish pub where locals smoke inside and few other sterile hiso venues, better hit Bukit Bintang if you need a beer or three (happy hour trend is 3x for some odd reason).
By the same merit, any site (big, small, government or otherwise) with an XSS like el.outerHTML = window.location.search or el.outerHTML = window.location.query is vunerable to be shutdown if hosted on DO. Makes one think..
You don't have to go Hetzner or OVH to get some sensibility. We've worked with Linode over a somewhat dubious overreaching copyright claim some years ago, they were professional and available and we had some back and forth whilst my client sought legal advice, in the end it wasn't completely frivolous, we had to give an inch instead of a mile the legal compliantee desired. This was over a period of a few days and we were never suspended, we made the small modification, Linode was happy, compliantee went quiet eventually, we carried on...
I wouldn't trust DigitalOcean with this fire first ask questions later approach especially given the technical nature of OPs setup.
It's very shitty of DigitalOcean to not at least give you a small window of opportunity to investigate and remove offending content, especially if first complaint. Given that their investigation would of been limited too (unlike yours) it makes it somewhat easy to knock off someone on DigitalOcean with a flimsy complaint.
