I would say I've found "cloud engineer misconfigures something that knocks the whole service offline" happens more frequently than "my building has a hardware, power, or ISP failure". To some degree, I feel like cloud services have, after overengineering their redundancies for such common failures... introduced a far worse failure via their extremely sophisticated update cadence and orchestration systems.
- annoyingnoob 6y agoI'm not a huge fan of cloud in general. Office 365 provides a lot of value for our organization. In addition to Office and Exchange we get a bunch of other things like Sharepoint, Forms, Flow, etc. I had terrible problems with hosted Exchange from Intermedia. I've had pretty good luck with Exchange on Office 365. Office 365 support is absolute garbage, they really want to punish you for contacting them, especially so if you've found a bug.
