> worst case (so far)

It’s kind of amazing that after nearly 20 years of “cloud”, the worst case so far still hasn’t been all that bad. Outages are the mildest type of incident. A true cloud disaster would be something like a major S3 data loss event, or a compromise of the IAM control plane. That’s what it would take for people to take multi-region/multi-cloud seriously.

So like the OVH data center fire back in 2021?

    No, a major one.

    (No shade on OVH, but they are ~1% market share player)
