Well, in the same token, is it smart to base your ENTIRE architecture on a single cloud architecture? Isn't that why some of us build in fallbacks for AWS-hosted services? I mean, their enitre platform, both public and private facing, is running on the same thing. One error, one problem, takes out the entire service.

AWS may have data centers[0] go[1] down[2], but that's within expected bounds of standard ops.
