This is hilarious. In the 90s we used to have services which ran on machines in cupboards which would go down because the cleaner would unplug them. Even then a day or two per year would be unacceptable.
Unless you lose a significant amount of money per minute of downtime, there is no incentive to go multicloud.
And multicloud has its own issues.
