It's hilarious people are bashing GCP for having one compute instance go down and the author acknowledges it's a rare event. On AWS I've got instances getting forced stopped or even straight disappearing all the time. 99.95% durability vs 99.999% is way different.
If they had the same architecture on AWS it would go down all the time IME. AWS primitives are way less reliable than GCP, according to AWS' docs and my own experiences.
