Has anyone noticed any improvement in speed or quality of Second life since the Cloud Migration in December 2020?
An astounding 10,588 hard drives were shredded and the data centers closed down permanently.
The switch was flipped to Amazon's AWS cloud service.
While the obsolescence factor of hardware reduction is a huge cost savings , it should be rewarded by more uptime and speedier access using other data equipment. I cannot say that I see an improvement on my client side. Maybe the physical avatar limit has increased in some group meetings but rendering time is the same or worse for me. Perhaps the pipes are the same size to Battery Street SF and back to me.
This is a cost savings decision from the new owners and regretfully the usual next thing is for a employee reduction as was demonstrated by the surprising departure last month of OZ Linden who was with LL for over ten years and greatly respected. As an engineer he must have been making some big bucks and putting him at risk.
