Well, I'd assert that every system fails eventually. And it's a pretty common practice that you deal with these failures by implementing a redundant system that can take over in case of a failure. Think about drives in a drive array, or redundant web servers behind a load balancer. This is just the same concept applied in the large for an entire cloud workload.
