Yeah, but I have more control over it to prevent such failures.

No, I understand that replication is the double cost.

I meant cloud solution should not have storage failures which causes data loss.

Yes, networking issue which brought down even multi-az deployments.

I don't want to setup highly available fault tolerant systems, I just want a good level of reliability of a service provider. Probably, we will migrate to the dedicated servers out of Amazon soon. It will be harder to maintain, but cheaper and, as practice shows, more reliable.

Point in Time backup was created before the actual failure and does not contain the latest data (~ 1 hour).

As far as I remember, previous failure which happen with Amazon earlier this year have also affected Multi-AZ deployments too.

Anyway, I don't think that we are ready to invest large amount of money on Multi-AZ deployments to the doubtful reliability. Cloud solutions even with single AZ should not loss data.

Absolutely awesome!

Yeah, I am stuck with that too.

I've read this as: "Facebook acquires Photoshop" and felt like WTF?
