So basically if you can't run it anywhere other than AWS, it's no more newsworthy than talking about a COBOL compiler for an IBM mainframe; which is also equally capable of giving you 11 9's.

BTW AWS can't possibly have been delivering on 11 9's given their previous outages; 9 9's is 0.031s over a year.

Pedantic clarification incoming: 11 9's is the Durability guarantee for S3. It doesn't refer to Availability.

But for this memorydb it seems it is? Indeed not for entire AWS either way though.

No, it specifically says for 11 9s for durability in the first sentence.

You are right indeed.
