Downtime is not the same as service disruption

    A service might be unavailable due to an intentional downtime for maintenance. This is often hidden by various redundancies but certain bottlenecks may remain.

      You've just intentionally disrupted the service then.

    You can announce downtime for a certain capacity of a service ahead of time. Which is essentially planned maintenance with some capacity hit, but when it's unplanned it's called disruption. Also, generally disruptions come with a bigger capacity loss, even if you don't lose the service outright. These terms are not limited to cloud infrastructures and not new either. Computation clusters use these terms for at least 12-13 years (from my experience) or for even longer.
