I hope this won't be counted as some form of self-promotion, even though I am sharing a post from my own blog.

As a tech worker who works in a Cloud shop, I wanted to elaborate the many reasons why I find working with Clouds terrible, from multiple points of view.

I tried to organize my thoughts in a (relatively long) post, in which both technical aspects and political aspects (which are very related) are covered.

I am sure many people will have different perspectives, and this could be potentially also a nice prompt for a discussion.

Wrong. You don't know how it's implemented, but you very much know what they do. Even heard about abstraction?

Abstraction is great. When it's meaningful.

Cloud abstraction adds massive complexity that has no correlation to what your code does.

An di shouldn't. Separation of concerns.
