This is a great question, and useful to many others as well! In my experience (25+ years), the first step is to realize what your main objective is if you had the big picture in your head. Then you can apply what you…
Quite frankly, it’s hard to recommend any Cloud Service nowadays. Technical issues apart, the strategy _everywhere_ is to maximize picking the customers’ pockets. AWS is super expensive, Azure is super unreliable and…

Tried it, alas, without success -Two big factors: 1. the infrastructure that made this possible in the 90s isn’t there anymore (at least in my part of the world). 2. The surrounding world requires information exchange…
