The "magical" thing they have is thousands and thousands of people thinking about how to improve the performance/efficiency/availability of their datacenters. And yes, they pay the costs of those people and take a good profit margin, and yes there are in some ways diminishing returns to go from 3 nines to 6. But most enterprises can't match that depth of concentrated expertise, certainly not most small enterprises. |

also to add... availibilty zones are a very very poor mans DR
