Amazon Elastic File System – Production-Ready in Three Regions

"Down time is still on you" - well put. And it is actually great when you can only blame yourself because then you can fix the issue right away. If someone other is to blame, you need to a) convince that person that there is a problem and b) wait for the issue to rise to the top of their queue. Which can be painful.

But in the case of Amazon they will likely know about the problem before you would have anyway. Sure, their problems tend to have a much larger scale, but their ops teams are pretty good.

Just because it's your fault, that doesn't mean that you can quickly and easily fix the problem yourself. Amazon has a team of people to keep EFS up and running, and AWS owns the entire storage, server, and network stack. When your own NFS server starts timing out, you may have only a few people to diagnose the problem.
