the land of failure modes

Failure modes:•double-entanglements•paving the cow path•hop, skip, & jump•best of breed• IT budget myopia• lipstick on the pig• solving the wrong problem really, really well• snow-flaking•double dribbling

Some workloads don’t belong in the cloud•workloads with stringent performance requirements

(for example zero propagation delays)

•workloads with stringent availability requirements (for example 99.9999% availability)

•workloads requiring specialty equipment (for example high performance computing)

•workloads requiring specialty equipment configurations (for example direct-attach storage)
