I appreciate the feedback, truly. Defensive and snarky are both fair, though I'm not trying to convince. The business and practices exist, today.
At risk of more snark [well-intentioned]: Clouds aren't the Death Star, they don't have to have an exhaust port. It's fair the first one does... for a while.
Ya, I totally believe that cloud platforms don't need a single point of failure. In fact, seeing the vulnerability makes me excited, because I realize there is _still_ potential for innovation in this area! To be fair it's not my area of expertise, so I'm very unlikely to be involved, but it's still exciting to see more change on the horizon :)
What company did you do it with, can you say? Definitely, they may have been an early mover, but they can (and I'll say will!) still be displaced eventually, that's how business goes.
