Not at all.

The other cloud providers have had their own outages.



Sadly this, people are entrenched with AWS and the... "We're not the only ones down" thing truly has some effect

Organizations can more easily swallow an AWS failure when they aren't the only ones hit. They move elsewhere, those outages look more unique

Folks may think multi cloud is a good idea... But you're just as likely to suffer from the extra points of failure as you are to benefit


Multi-cloud is such an odd idea to me. You're either building abstractions on top of things like cloud-provider specific implementations of CDNs, K8S, S3, Postgres, etc...or using the cloud just for VMs. The latter would be cheaper with just old-school hosting from Equinix, Rackspace, etc. The former feels like a losing battle.
