Correct, but in the context of deploys I would hope they are not random failures, but rather planned events that you do when you have updates to... deploy.

Yes, but you also don't want to have to deploy in the middle of the night in order to avoid downtime during peak hours.

Not only is that a pain for whoever is monitoring the deployment, but now if the deployment breaks something you're going to have to go wake up all of the relevant stakeholders, if you even know who they are.

Not to say late night deployments are never justified, but definitely not something devs want to be doing regularly.

There’s alternatives like making rollbacks really easy, and then automating it.
