   AWS had its own share of massive outage. I had a look at AWS and GCE incidents history and it looks the frequency and magnitude of incidents is quite similar. Do you have any factual information that contradicts this?

   Thanks for the explanation. I never thought about this before. It makes senses, but it is scary. I hope you're wrong. :)
