That’s only if there is no contingency plan in place and a backup server. Usually these things are thought out beforehand. And it’s not like you’re excused from this type of problems when you’re running your solution in the cloud. From cloud outages to configurations nightmares, data inconsistencies, not knowing what is happening because pinpointing on a complex infrastructure takes more time and so on. Sometimes the cloud way is the way to go but other times it is not justified.
