Many enterprise storage systems have the durability/availability tradeoff like these replicated disks when replicating outside of a single datacenter. (Oracle calls it "max availability": try to synchronously replicate, but i

Regional Persistent Disk was in beta in 2019. Usability hiccups and other annoyances meant it only GA'd in 2023, but it's been used under CloudSQL for quite a while. (I work on GCP storage)
