I've consulted with many companies trying to save money by moving to AWS because they have twelve 9s of availability. They don't do any redundant deployments because they want to save money.
I keep telling them that the SLA just means that AWS will give them a refund for anything you couldn't use while they have an outage. There's no guarantee.
So they just treat their uptime target sorta like the office and bankruptcy? "I declare 12 9s!"
Like, bruh, you actually have to pay for that if you want it, wtf?
I guess it is a bit like car batteries. A 4 year warranty doesn't guarantee it will last 4 years, it means you get a refund if it doesn't. (Though unless they're idiots they build the batteries so statistically it is somewhat more common to last that long vs dying early).
