> you should expect a few "surprises" if you're running consul.io on Digital Ocean, heartbeats are delayed quite often (depends on datacenters), which makes failure detection hard

isn't that true for any CP store in any "cloud" provider?

I'd say it's more true of cloud providers who don't schedule your VM for 15+ seconds, from time to time.

As I said, we've deployed our production environment on bare metal (in reaction to this exact problem...)
