I distinctly remember the Amazon status page (which unfortunately seems to have very little history) claiming that two availability zones were affected during that outage: one was fixed within two hours, and the other remained offline for over a day (and if you were as unlucky as me, was not fully recovered for multiple days, not just 30 hours).
Regardless, you have missed the point of this thread: I have a bunch of servers on standard non-cloud providers (like 1&1), and I have seriously had /one/ outage in the last EIGHT YEARS. In that case, a hard drive (just mine in one server, not half of the known Internet's) failed, was replaced, and my server was back up in a few hours.
