And yet Google Cloud has some great features that AFAIK AWS still hasn't, presumably due to different priorities.

Like regional disks [1] or live migration of compute between hosts if problems are detected with the host.

When would you ever want to rely on this? Seems to me like you should have two hosts in the first place.

Google has been relying on it for years. It's completely seamless and means you get even better reliability by insulating from the underlying hardware issues.

When you don't want to lose the requests already in progress, and to avoid the failover window
