Said OVH. Then their datacenter burned to the grounds.

Said Oracle. Then their DNS was misconfigured and their whole cloud went offline for 2 hours [1].

Shit happens, always, at all scales.

OVH didn't suffer a complete outage. If you were relying on that single DC, then you're probably not sufficiently large for this to apply to you.

But perhaps my point wasn't clearly enough made: a claim of "100% uptime" on a service level isn't particularly _useful_ when our users still only see a 99.9% success rate.
