UniSuper said it lost cloud infrastructure in “two geographies”, a configuration it believed should have kept it safer in an outage situation.
But in the end, it's still a single system. As can be seen here. So it might help you when the DC burns down but it won't protect you from software bugs of your cloud provider.
Depends on the cloud provider. Some take regional independence (and even further, availability-zone independence) more seriously than the others.
Or to state it even more definitively, only one of the public cloud providers offers clear guarantees of availability-zone disaster recovery independence, never mind regions.

And it's not Google's or Microsoft's.
