It's called real world our clients running on dedicated hardware at 2 dcs have consistently less issues than those on AWS. The aws control layer and infrastructure is too complex and results in fairly significant outages.
That's it. I'm running my own dedicated servers for my business and had zero (ZERO!) downtime in the last three years. How much downtime had the big cloud players?
Me too. I've been renting servers for over 10 years. By the way is fairly common DCs with very high uptime (between 99.999% - 100% over 5 years or more), especially in cities with high connectivity like Ashburn/VA or Dallas/TX. Failures on servers with less than 4 years of use is _really_ unusual.
