I'm surprised that their status system seems to run off the main infrastructure too. Everyone else gets slated for making that mistake.

Yup, all of the HRD apps are down. But the M/S apps are working.

Before the doom and gloomers come out, this is the first time since leaving beta I can remember it happening.

We left AWS about 18 months ago after one of the outages and switched to GAE. I've counted 3-4 big downtimes for AWS compared to this one on GAE. That's still a good decision (for now)....

Hm, bad week for the Cloud. Can't even get to the status page; hopefully it's not hosted on App Engine.

So going forward, what's the best way to protect against cloud downtime? Have a hot/standby failover with a different provider? Prepare customers' expectations for the possibility of server outages? Do a ton of research, pay $$$ for lots of nines uptime, and lambast the host when they don't deliver?

Yep. We've never seen anything like this before.

Build redundancy into your software to deal with single provider failure.
