That’s actually a point that AWS tried to hit on during their last re:Invent conference. When their competitors say multiple availability zones, read the fine print, and you’ll see that it is far from being as resilient as AWS. Sometimes other cloud providers have even located the two AZs in the same building.... AWS AZs on the other hand are always geographically separated, and they even take into consideration the landscape to see if they need to be further away (earthquakes etc). It’s staggering how much of a lead AWS has on others when in comes to their AZs and global network infrastructure.
