Not every cloud customer has a dedicated admin team, some even don't have any dedicated developer teams. They simply wanted a website done, contracted someone and they uploaded some HTML to a cloud instance.

Sure, if you're a large company, it makes sense to have redundancy. If you're running a small company with some esoteric webshop to serve AFK customers, it makes less sense.

If it didn't take a team to design what you use then it probably won't take a team to design a fallback. But the difficulty doesn't excuse not doing it, if you don't have a fallback for whatever you pick, pick something simpler.

Ideally we keep stuff running, but I don't want to be the kind of person who just tells you that we've got it. You need to know your airbag might fail so that you take your seatbelt seriously.
