Облако по природе своей устроено так, что деньги из него утекают как песок сквозь пальцы. Не потому что провайдеры жадные или инженеры попались безответственные.

По отдельности каждый из этих факапов – вроде не катастрофа. Но в конце месяца счета неизменно напоминают о том, что думать так —... Read more
