I'll go against the grain here but I think it's all fine.. it's part of the 99.9999%; we've just hit the 0.0001%. It'll get better over time and the pros outwei

I'll go against the grain here but I think it's all fine.. it's part of the 99.9999%; we've just hit the 0.0001%. It'll get better over time and the pros outweigh the cons.

Downtime aside, could you elaborate on why you think it’s all fine? This is my thought process: Pros - convenience Cons - bad for privacy and security. I believe the cons outweigh the pros.

  Convenience often trumps those two, unless it is horrifically bad. Like I won’t use an email provider, no matter how convenient, if there is no good authentication. The risk of big company doing something evil though is typically one I’ll take.

Will it? AWS is the mort reliable service, and even it has outages. Then there are the thousands of other internal service dependencies. Any third party IoT device relies on those and then their own awful software stack and silly putty + paperclips code. All of this ignores the added hardware complexity and likelihood of failure

  AWS doesn't have some sort of magic reliability factor, in fact it's less reliable than GCP/Azure as it doesn't do live migration of EC2 instances. Ultimately it's up to developers to create a system that can survive during outages.

    Convenience and reliability are not the same thing.

      The statement is not wrong! If GCP/Ature have the same reliability like AWS they will be more reliable than them as there will be no random restarts because of a planned migration of your vm.
