> unless you build your applications in a cloud suitable way Right, we have not done this. We basically decided it was cheaper to keep doing the “old school” thing and not spend a bunch of dev time trying to do it in a way that supports arbitrary failure of N boxes. We just spent the money to make it unlikely our boxes or networks will fail, and if they do fail we may be sad (but it rarely happens, and has not yet happened in a catastrophic way). > Are these inter-region network dropouts or between the internet and the cloud data center? I’ve seen multi-second dropouts within a DC (cloud, not my current company), and multi-hour single-path failures between DCs (usually something like a fire or construction cutting a line). But all of our DCs have at least 2 physically independent routes to the internet, so it’s never taken us fully offline.
