>So you basically saying that no matter what one should always stick to Amazon. What I am saying is given the list of exceptions I gave the business should run/colocate their gear if they're in the exception list or those components that fall in the exception list should be moved out. >I have my own experience that tells exactly the opposite. You begin using AWS for your first day ever and on that day it has a tri AZ outage for S3. In this example the experience with AWS has been terrible. Zooming out though over 5 years it wouldn't look like a terrible experience at all considering outages are limited and honestly not that frequent.
