  I’m getting real tired of watching this industry pretend dependency is innovation. The entire tech world got sold on the idea that hardware was the problem and cloud was the solution. And to be fair, Amazon AWS played it perfectly. From a business standpoint, it was brilliant. Make infrastructure easy. Make it scalable. Make it fast. Make it cheaper to start. Then make it harder and harder to leave. That’s the part nobody wants to talk about. At first, cloud feels like freedom. No racks. No servers. No switches. No up-front hardware cost. No late nights swapping drives, troubleshooting power, rebuilding arrays, or fighting broken infrastructure. But over time, that freedom can turn into a leash. I’ve seen enough real-world systems to know the difference between convenience and control. Access control, networking, servers, security hardware, firewalls, cameras, panels, credentials, cloud dashboards, hosted platforms, vendor portals — it all looks great until the business depends on something it does not actually own. That is where the trap starts. One vendor controls the platform. One vendor controls the pricing. One vendor controls the updates. One vendor controls the outage window. One vendor controls the rules. One vendor controls the ecosystem. Then businesses slowly build everything around it. Compute, storage, databases, backups, monitoring, identity, deployment, physical security, access control, video, alerts, compliance, logging, and billing. By the time they realize how deep they are, leaving is no longer a simple decision. It becomes a migration project. A budget problem. A staffing problem. A security concern. A downtime risk. A business risk. That is not just convenience. That is a dependency loop. And what frustrates me the most is that the same industry that used to understand real infrastructure now acts like ownership is outdated. Owning hardware is not outdated. Understanding networks is not outdated. Knowing servers is not outdated. Knowing how systems work underneath the dashboard is not outdated. Building hybrid infrastructure is not outdated. It is control. Cloud has its place. Hosted systems have their place. Managed platforms have their place. I am not against any of that. I am against companies blindly giving up ownership, knowledge, and leverage, then calling it progress. Because when your entire business depends on someone else’s platform, someone else’s pricing, someone else’s rules, someone else’s uptime, and someone else’s permission, you do not own your technology. You rent permission to operate. Prometheus V2 is built different by RocketCore.

  I'm also initiating short on $AMZN Amazon. Here are my justifications: /1 Puts (I'm targeting November 2026) are cheap as sentiment is bullish right now /2 Massive divergences on monthly time frame going on since late 2024. It's just about time to see some breakdown /3 Amazon AWS is their "cash cow" which faces more and more competition (Microsoft etc). Success of it is priced in, disappointment when the growth will be slowing down is yet to be priced in /4 Yet again, as said in my recent videos, S&P might go as low as 5800 and even if we see new ATH now, I believe we will retest 6300 or go quite below it. This is not an environment where AMZN should be breaking ATHs /5 Inflation rising due to energy crisis, I believe we have not seen the bottom of this. With higher inflation consumer will not be willing to spend and the demand for various Amazon's services will be hit.

  @WatcherGuru Only problem is...$NET is not in the business of cyber security. LOL Cloudfare competes with Amazon AWS for serverless computing. (I would buy $NET here...)

  @AWSSupport Thank you! The entire db.r7i family shows reduced vCPUs for SQL Server & Oracle vs MySQL/PostgreSQL/Aurora in console. The docs page has no mention of this engine-specific difference — undocumented and critical for licensed engine customers planning costs.

  @awscloud Amazon AI Pricing Is Killing the Buy Box Losing Buy Box because AI compares my product to cheaper, non-equivalent listings — even external ones. To compete = sell at a loss. This punishes real brands. Fix this. #AmazonSeller

  @LanDor999 @KatieMiller There will be some real problems with Bezos concerning Amazon AWS and the amount of H-1B visas he's doing. Between the massive layoffs, robotics, and warehouses, $200 billion spent, and counting on AI. another startup is going to do it right from the ground up

  $GOOGL Why everyone's losing their minds over this number: Google Cloud is the part of Google that competes with Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. Last quarter: grew 48% This quarter: grew 63% Cloud businesses don't usually accelerate this fast. They mature, slow down, and stabilize. Google just did the opposite. At $20B per quarter, this is the fastest-growing big cloud business in the world right now.

  @AWSSupport The issue is that the team is NOT responding via the case. It’s been 3 days for this one and 8 days for the previous one. I am totally blocked. Can you at least escalate Case ID 177654556500245 to the Billing and account team? 'Working via the case' is currently impossible Thanks

  Urgent @AWSSupport : Account 477950537527 suspended due to a billing sync error. Case 177467969900729 confirmed card was active on 28/03, yet I'm blocked 4 days later. Dashboard shows $0.00 due/Pending, so I can't pay manually. Production is DOWN. Please unsuspend/retry charge!

  This isn't Iran's first move against AI/tech infrastructure. Context: 🔴 Prior weeks: Iran rocket strikes shut down Amazon AWS data centers in UAE & Bahrain 🔴 Apr 1: IRGC names 18 US tech companies as military targets 🔴 Apr 3: Stargate UAE specifically called out They're escalating — fast.
