We use Azure and love it. We've had more problems over the past few years from downstream services being broken by AWS (S3 outage, etc.) than our primary apps

  > S3 outage Wait what? S3 is 11 nines. That's like 1 file every 8 PB/year-years.

    11 9s is for durability, not availability. ie, S3 will almost never lose your file, but sometimes you won't be able to retrieve it immediately. There was a pretty significant S3 availability outage not too long ago, which is probably what the parent comment is referring to.
