Your comment is a fine example of the standard rhetoric from the 'move everything to the cloud' marketing people, but perhaps organizations should consider that they don't have to go with one cloud provider as a single point of failure. It's the lazy way of abstracting away responsibility and blame to some other party, and in my experience often does not result in better availability than a properly implemented "belt and suspenders" approach.

- mattzito 6y agoThere’s a complexity cost, though, right? It’s not free to run two different systems, manage two different billing systems, different tools, pay for cross-provider bandwidth, etc.? I’m sure there are some cases where the cost is worth the complexity, but I don’t think it’s cut and dried as written here. Most cloud providers are very reliable, and my guess is that you are more likely to have a self-inflicted outage due to the complexity of your infrastructure than the cloud provider having an outage.
