You will have down times no matter what. I've been surprised quite a free times about how well (in term of availability) a simple one with just a few nodes can perform. Cloud is a scam in multiple dimensions: - It's overpriced most of the time (I'm looking at you aws) - It wastes you're brain cycle about their stupid proprietary stuff instead of focusing on real problems - Makes you dependent on their bullshit - There's probably more to add to the list. Overall, I'm a strong believer of "Refrain from doing cloud) :)
