Yeah, you just demonstrated why AWS is keen on you having backups to your services on their platform. You failed to do that (follow their guidance) and suffered an outage because of it. How exactly is that AWS's fault?

MY point is that AWS is very solid, and while there are plenty of trade offs, to be sure, the tradeoff is "operational" vs. "orchestration", and operational doesn't let you decide when to work on it whereas orchestration does.
