I find this entire attitude disappointing. Engineering has moved from "provide the best reliability" to "provide the reliability we won't get blamed for the failure of". Folks who have this attitude missed out on the dang ethics course their college was teaching.

If rolling your own is faster, cheaper, and more reliable (it is), then the only justification for cloud is assigning blame. But you know what you also don't get? Accolades.

I throw a little party of one here when Office 365 or Azure or AWS or whatever Google calls it's cloud products this week is down but all our staff are able to work without issue. =)
