Just grabbed first article. Example: In this case capitalone went down. I don’t work at capitalone - but I imagine they had their data copied across every region 30 times.

I think you're much too optimistic about capitalone. They probably had a single point of failure, possibly one they didn't realize they had.

CapitalOne is one of the few financial markets firms with open source cloud projects on github. I respect their tech org for that.
