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...

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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".

Ask me how I know...

If you've got a rant, I'm all ears

Agree, but five nines are not 100% ;) Anyway - this discussion reminds me of Technical Report 85.7 - Jim Gray, which might be of the interest to some of you.

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