I thought the discussion was extending beyond Microsoft and applying to any software. But if you are asking if it’s possible for Microsoft Azure to be the hosting provider for very important systems ie government, medical, then yes, these could impact a high degree of quality of life for people, even now or in the future.

If you design a system that could cause significant personal harm or a meaningful degradation of quality of life for someone due to cloud provider downtime, you're just a bad engineer. There's no such thing as a data center that's failure-proof. If someone's well-being depends on a system, it's simply negligent to be intolerant of failure conditions.
- sunnybeetroot 3y agoI agree, there are many terrible systems around the world with terrible implementations that at best cause inconvenience to people and at worst lead to a loss of life. My point is if you are faced with a data loss you make a call that assesses the impact of downtime and don’t follow a blanket rule.
