Not necessarily. If they only have their setup in a single AWS datacenter, and it gets hit by a hurricane, then you still have issues.
The real issue is geographic redundancy, regardless of using AWS or dedicated hardware.
- Xylakant 14y agoWith the last round of failures some of the people affected reported that they couldn't start up instances in other datacenters since those were overloaded. Still, I agree - the underlying problem is cross-datacenter redundancy but that's a very difficult problem to tackle and might just not be economically feasible.
