My logic is to build highly resilient infrastructure given the constraints available. Your definition of "poor service" is not what I have experienced in my 10 year career as a SRE, because I build around your definition of what makes it poor and make it work as it should. It's called chaos engineering, and companies like Netflix have been doing it for years with their Chaos Monkey tool and SRE practices. Doesn't matter what cloud provider you go to, there is ALWAYS unexpected and unannounced downtime unless you build around, plan for, and expect it. But sure, go ahead and tell us all how industry leaders like them are wrong for sticking with what you call "poor service."

Ok simply question. Would you accept any other infra service provider having such poor customer service and not provided updated status of an outage/disruption for 45 min.
You are deliberately avoiding the counter-points I already specifically addressed in response to that question to the point we are stuck in a loop, so I am going to leave this thread now. If you feel you can do a better job at SRE with your current mindset and believe you are better at choosing which cloud providers are worth using for an org, I welcome you to try.
