Surely you're referring to Microsoft's team's time to implement failover to the product offering, not time every customer spends on implementation???

FTA: "if _you_ are an engineer working on a small thing, say datacenter automatic failover component" (emphasis added). Pretty sure he's talking about EVERY customer spending months to turn on fail-over.

The previous poster is correct, I think you are mistaken. It should read like this:

"if you are an engineer at Microsoft working on a small azure component, say datacenter automatic failover component"

At least this is how I read it since the OP works at MS it appears.
