Redundancy is a proven way to build resilience into your infrastructure. Ownership does not mean you have to build it. OP is correct that you need to understand it all, but that understanding also allows for solid DR plans that use multiple providers for a resilient infrastructure.

An alternative to multiple providers is to use commoditized providers. By using simple infrastructure rather than cloud platforms, I can redploy my infrastructure using ansible with another provider in hours rather than re-building my platform if I decide the cloud is the wrong fit.

An aside: it looks like there is a certificate error for https://certkit.com/ as it's for *.mscertkit.com (this was on Chromium + Linux)
