Paying for resilience is expensive. not as expensive as AWS, but it's not free. Modern companies live life on the edge. Just in time, no resilience, no flexibility. We see the disaster this causes whenever something unexpected happens - the Evergiven blocking Suez for example, let alone something like Covid However increasingly what should be minor loss of resilience, like an AWS outage or a Crowdstrike incident, turns into major failures. This fragility is something government needs to legislate to prevent. When one supermarket is out that's fine - people can go elsewhere, the damage is contained. When all fail, that's a major problem. On top of that, the attitude that the entire sector has is also bad. People thing IT should tail once or twice a year and it's not a problem. If that attitude affect truly important systems it will lead to major civil projects. Any civilitsation is 3 good meals away from anarchy. There's no profit motive to avoid this, companies don't care about being offline for the day, as long as all their mates are also offline.
