I've said it before and I've said it again....
Read the cloud provider small-print before you go around boasting about how great their SLAs are.
Most of the time they are not worth the paper they are written on.
- kjs3 2y agoThis is beyond true. Read and understand what your cloud SLAs are, not what you think they are or what you think they should be. There was significant consternation generated when I pointed out that the SLA for availability for an Azure storage blob was only 4 nines with zone redundancy. https://azure.microsoft.com/files/Features/Reliability/AzureResiliencyInfographic.pdf https://azure.microsoft.com/files/Features/Reliability/Azure...
