Absolutely, but the cost of perfection (100% uptime in this case) is infinite.
As long as the outages are rare enough and you automatically fail over to a different region, what's the problem?
- jacquesm 1y agoOften simply the lack of a backup outside of the main cloud account.
- hvb2 1y agoSure, but on a typical outage how likely is it that you'll have that all up and running before the outage is resolved? And secondly, how often do you create that backup and are you willing to lose the writes since the last backup? That backup is absolutely something people should have, but I doubt those are ever used to bring a service back up. That would be a monumental failure of your hosting provider (colo/cloud/whatever)
