> In-house servers would lead to an insane amount of outage. That might be true, but the effects of any given outage would be felt much less widely. If Disney has an outage, I can just find a movie on Netflix to watch instead. But now if one provider goes down, it can take down everything. To me, the problem isn't the cloud per se, it's one player's dominance in the space. We've taken the inherently distributed structure of the internet and re-centralized it, losing some robustness along the way. |

If my system has an hour of downtime every year and the dozen other systems it interacts with and depends on each have an hour of downtime every year, it can be better that those tend to be correlated rather than independent.
