A generic question: Our company is completely dependent on AWS. Sure we have taken all of the standard precautions for redundancy, but what happened here could just as easily happen with AWS - a needed resource is down globally. What would a small business do as a contingency plan?

Well not a lot. On the plus side its pretty reliable.

Infrastructure as code. Terraform using AMIs plus chef recipes that work in the cloud and bare metal. Dont use AWS specific services. This would allow you to spin over to another cloud provider , vsphere or bare metal with minimal work
Hi - I work at Google on GKE - sorry about the problems you're experiencing. There's a lot of people inside Google looking into this right now! It looks like the UI issue was actually fixed, and that we just didn't update the status dashboard correctly. But we're double checking that and looking into some of the additional things you all have reported here.
Oh man must be a tough time to be an SRE at google cloud. But... they’re Google. They have been doing internal cloud for years and years. Borg — which K8s is a reimplementation if — has been the heart of Google for so long now you’d think they’d be able to architect their systems to have no outages whatsoever. I mean nobody is perfect but this looks bad.

Ultimately it’s a risk/return decision.
“Is going exclusively with AWS/azure/GCP etc a better decision in reliability, financial and mantainability terms than complicating the design to improve resiliency? And will this more complex solution actually improve reliability?”

Going multi region on AWS should be safe enough.
If a multi region, multi service meltdown happens on AWS, it will feel like most of the internet has gone down to a lot of users. Being such a catastrophic failure, I bet the service will be restored pretty fast, not in 3 days.
You could go multi cloud though. But when half of the internet struggles to work correctly, I’d not feel too bad about my small business’ downtime.
