That doesn’t help if they have software that assumes it can reach all sites. I remember a few years ago AWS had a EC2 outage in eu-central-1 because of 1 of the Availability Zones went down and the service that allocates instances threw a 500 when it failed to get that AZ’s capacity instead of just allocating the instances to the other 2 AZs.
Companies are made up of people. Companies save money by firing the most expensive people, the most experienced. The ones left have a lot less experience.

I get how it’s possible, but this is Google. Surely they have decades of experience at keeping a website up no matter what happens!

You could also say its AWS. They also should have the experience, but mistakes happen
