i thought the entire point of the cloud was to make stuff like this not cause your site to go down, or did someone realize that only had to be part of the marketing

The cloud doesn't go down- regions and services inside that region go down.

A region (or AZ for Amazon) is no more or less reliable then your run of the mill DC

True, but then the question is it cheaper to build your own redundancy or duplicate all/most infrastructure across multiple zones? Once that becomes the question, the cloud not longer looks so simple or cost effective.

No the point is when the cloud goes down you can stay in bed because someone else is sorting it out for you.
