If your server goes down it doesn't matter if it's because of a faulty host or because of a dc fire. You need redundancy either way. People affected by this fire had likely all assets in one data center, which I also wouldn't recommend with AWS & Co.
- sofixa 4y agoIt's slightly different, because AWS have AZs. Each region is composed of at least 3 AZs, each one being at least a datacenter, at a distance from one another, but the region is usable as a single entity. An OVH DC is separate, but can be next to other DCs in an area ( e.g. the Strasbourg DCs were all next to each other) which is OK because they don't sell any AZ or regional features.
