"What we can do now is probably not a good idea to rely on the same company for half of our Internet infrastructure."

Am I the only one who feels like this is kind of a ridiculous conclusion the article makes? I don't know the author's credentials but it feels like a knee-jerk reaction by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. I'm not aware of any other cloud vendor that doesn't ever have outages, and I'd be even more worried if my vacuum relied on the manufacturers own data centers. I think a better conclusion is for vendors to use redundant cloud regions and availability zones, and for consumers to maybe not buy internet-enabled devices if %0.001 downtime is unacceptable to you.
