full geographically redundant copies of your data
In the case of Amazon, I wouldn't be so certain that they're geographically redundant copies. I raised this issue on HN a few months ago and someone replied that within an availability zone the data is "a bunch of (datacenters) that are close to each other". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10231677 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10231677
I like how for GRS Microsoft specifically says "a second datacenter hundreds of miles away". I have yet to find such clear statements from Amazon.
- Spooky23 11y agoAmazon plays games with terms like "durability", meaning that the data exists. That doesn't mean that it is accessible by you or available in its entirety. Microsoft is definitely more straightforward in its claims. O365 for my org was in Midwest, midatlantic, and southwest, giving us a really good continuity story.
