I wouldn't call this reliability, which already has a loaded definition in the cloud world, and instead something along time-to-start or latency or something.

- systemvoltage 4y agoIt is though based on a specific definition. If X doesn't do Y based on Z metric with a large standard deviation and doesn't meet spec limits, it is not reliable as per the predefined tolerance T. X = Compute intances Y = Launch Z = Time to launch T = LSL (N/A), USL (10s), Std Dev (2s) Where LSL is lower spec limit, USL is upper spec limit. LSL is N/A since we don't care if the instance launches instantly (0 seconds). You can define T as per your requirements. Here we are ignoring the accuracy of the clock that measures time, assuming that the measurement device is infinitely accurate. If your criteria is to, say for example, define reliability as how fast it shuts down, then this article isn't relevant. Article is pretty narrow in testing reliability, they only care about launch time.
