You're right, though. AWS has far more data centers/regions. Even if a company only uses AWS, they can set up High Availability/Disaster Recovery solutions that replicate across AWS regions.

But they won't because:

  • management doesn't understand the technology, just "cloud good".
  • the experienced tech workers who do understand that you still need HADR in the cloud have all been laid off or retired.
  • redundancy costs...wait for it...money.

    Bingo. Which goes to my point the ire should be at the companies more than AWS. And a lot of the big companies have more than enough money to handle it, but they’re greedy. But instead everyone is focusing on AWS, saying it’s a “monopoly” and needs to be “democratized”. It’s completely misplaced outrage IMO.
