You don't need that much to have a cloud with several 9's of uptime.

If you've never done the work or been around it, the difficulty becomes a bit mythologized.

Sure, but to a certain extent, that’s survivorship bias.

It’s very easy to run something with several 8’s of uptime if you’re not careful.

AWS has good patterns to guide you into the pit of success.
