[Chapter-delegates] Fwd: Are We Breaking The Internet?

[Brandt Dainow]

Just another example of how the ability to do things in a new way doesn't
mean anyone will.  Cloud services were supposed to make service delivery
more robust by avoiding a single point of failure.  Instead, all we have
done is move the single point of failure to a new location.  There's
nothing wrong in cloud services, provided they are implemented in a way
which takes advantage of their new capabilities.  Instead, it appears
Amazon gave no thought to the architectural requirements they needed to
build into the system to generate the advantage people thought they were
buying.

In reality, large companies like Facebook and Amazon are constructing
proprietary closed systems on the foundation of an open internet.  It's
like they are using the internet to restore the very thing it was designed
to abolish.  Nothing threatens the future of the internet more than
monopoly domination by closed systems.  This case is a clear example.
