> It is the managed infrastructure. Outage? You can keep sleeping.
I don't think an outage in a third party service I've depended on has ever allowed me to keep sleeping. In reality, I've been awake, dealing with outage fallout, keeping up to date on status updates, and overall just feeling in the dark, unable to improve the situation for my customers.
That's not saying that depending on a third party service isn't sometimes the right move, but "I get to sleep when there's a problem" isn't a consideration there. The pager still goes off.
