Re:FedEx to close data centers, retire mainframes by systemvoltage on Tuesday July 05, 2022 @01:48PM (#31991399)
Some are starting to question the almighty Cloud™: https://www.economist.com/business/2021/07/03/do-the-costs-o...

One of the things that bother me about AWS is that I still need to manage their risk of a data center going down by using multiple availability zones and managing the complexity of extra resilience. There is a conflict of interest: AWS has a perverse incentive in keeping a single AZ robust and unless there is a natural calamity, it should not go down.

I thought one of the major reasons of going to cloud is that you need not manage risk and offloading it from on-prem.
