    well this is probably PR as there is no such system nor it can be made that can have 100% uptime.

    Five-nines is entirely possible with enough resources and competent outage-minded engineers.

      Hell. Five nines is doable with eks, a single engineer and thinking through your changes before pushing them to prod. Ask me how I know…

        Operations like this don’t have a single engineer. The more complex the project, the higher the risk of complications and outages. It’s not a matter of “oh, just think harder about your changes”.

        Distinguishing between 5 nines and 100% is just semantics in any discussion outside of contractual ones.
