- emodendroket 5y agoMore than double realistically. But you could achieve most of the benefit at much lower cost by going multi-AZ.
- karmasimida 5y agoInfra is pure cost center. A few hours downtime is not going to justify double cost, and worse whose benefits can only be demonstrated during those few hours. It will get shutdown immediately. And what is more important, corporate world really don't care that much about downtime, not as much as they care about who to assign the blame, in this case AWS is a perfect irresistible externality much like a natural disaster.
