So tired of these all too frequent issues with Apple cloud services!
Some of us like to listen to music at work.....Get over it and go for a walk, take a look at the real world.
What a worthless comment.Get over it and go for a walk, take a look at the real world.
He doesn't need to fire Eddy he just needs to poach someone from Microsoft, Google or Amazon who is experience in running cloud services. Eddy would have plenty to do overseeing AppStore, TV, Apple Music, Pay and iTunes.
Because others don't have outages (at times affecting various other services beyond even their own)?This just only confirmed Apple is still years behind in cloud technology including data center compared to google among others.
Id go further than that. Not just one tentpole for 'web services' but group similar web services together.
So maybe: Online Stores (including iTunes, App Store, Apple Music, iBooks, apple online store etc); iCloud (data syncing, iCloud drive, CloudKit, etc); Data Managment (for services that require organising huge amounts of data like Maps, Siri and Spotlight).
And Apple being Apple the teams would talk to each other. So the App Store search would get better as the Siri team made advancements in data managment.
Then again, what if there are already teams like this, all led by VPs who report to Cue?

Minimize, sure, but there have still been more than just one or two Gmail and other Google services outages as well. Also just a few weeks ago there was an issue related to backend services Amazon provides to a chunk of Internet services so when that happened it wasn't just Amazon customers that were affected but many other services online. So none of this is some sort of unique or unheard of thing, it happens to even the best of them as they say.Objectively compared to google apple is still behind in the data center technology the hardware part of clouds. Google design and build their own servers, design and build their own networked protocol, design and build their own routers, build their own fiber optic networked. With the clouds they pioneered distributive computing in their data center. Pioneered containerization in cloud computing among others.
That said google have maintained to have efficient cloud services and minimize outages.

And yet Google still had hacking issues. And yet with much more important services and much more invested into the infrastructure and everything related to it Google and Amazon have had down times nonetheless. So, again, what's the doom and gloom here? Yes, of course Apple can be better, just as those other services can be better too. Nothing exactly all that extraordinary or crazy.That boils down to the reliability of apple iclouds, it is common knowledge since the start or launch of it, it continues to suffer outages, slow down, most embarrassing it was hacked (icloud security issues) among others that affected apple various services.
For Amazon I think they have minimal issues on their AWS as compared to icloud. Amazon are already starting to imitate google by customising their data center to catch up with google for robustness of data center and cloud infrastructure.
Apple has enough cash on hand and i heard they are also starting to upgrade their data center, anyway better late than never at least they can catch up several years behind.
