Ya sure. I'd rather have some downtime than have to "run cables". It's not worth the effort for 95% of systems to be that resilient.

As stated in the article, it's not wrong to do what you're saying, but the article is talking about people that can do that and should do that.

Quoting the article: When it gets to the point where you start measuring downtime in dollars rather than “time I would’ve been doing something else” it is time to move your critical infrastructure to something you know.
