Well said! "An AWS outage at this point is like an act of God." Yeah...It's like... a hurricane. When your code is in the cloud, it will be subject to thunderstorms.
You might feel differently if your ambulance failed to arrive. Some systems need multiple redundant layers, but accountancy rules that diversity “inefficient.”

Good analogy, I like it
- wished I had thought of that over the past few years when trying to explain outages to very senior leadership. Thunderstorms & clouds.

But there is no such thing as a foolproof system. Anyone who invent one merely discovers new classes of fools.
Yeah.... Very true.
This statement - I LOVE THIS STATEMENT:
--- "when everybody’s down, nobody is down" (even though 'everyone' is out of commission)
Pleassseeee....
It so true but this statement, this one is EVEN MORE VALID:
--- "xxxx has become too big for you to avoid failing."
---- use any super large entity for the x's.
Good write up.
