>Amazon AWS sales rep will come to the office tomorrow to sell us the (((cloud)))
>They'll probably adopt it since it's actually a good solution
Thing is I'm mentally retarded but my boss thinks I'm really smart, this is where you guys help me. There will be a point during the meeting when they're gonna ask if we have any questions and at that point I need to ask something that will make everyone think I'm a genius like "uhhh... yeah that's right, what about that?"
What should I ask them?
ask them where the cloud is
I already know that, we'd be using the US servers. This is a serious question my friend.
But
what is the cloud????
Ask them if it runs on Intel CPUs

the US is in the cloud?
"How secure are your servers after the recent patches surrounding the Spectre and Meltdown issues?"
Ask them about worst case scenarios.
Whats their plan if security gets breached and all your shit stolen.
Or whats gonna happen if their servers go down.
Blast from the past
>renting CPU time from mainframe operators
How do you cap charges - what if we leave a vm on accidently etc
happens all the time to us
"What differentiates your service from your competitors?"
"Do you have case studies from similar companies to ours?"
"If I want to pitch your service to my boss what are your strongest three arguments?"
"Do I get a kickback if our company makes the deal?"
This, also
what's a computer?
>what if we leave a vm on accidently etc
Low iq question
>do i need to pay services if i use them by mistake??????
>>do i need to pay services if i use them by mistake??????

Find out at what point cloud costs get more expensive than running your own servers, there's a few companies whose name escape me at the moment who found it cheaper to start buying their own kit once their cloud infrastructure went beyond a certain size.
ask them does the cloud taste like marshmallows
Before or after the meeting tell your boss about either IPFS and Filecoin or Storj
You need to tell what applications you're moving to the cloud, otherwise you'll just get stupid generic questions.
