I dunno, I have been around and I never seen an on-prem infra being more reliable than your average cloud.

The only difference is that when on-prem goes down you can shout to your infra engineers, when cloud goes down you shout at your enterprise cloud representative. The first is more effective, but even with that it still doesn't achieve the same reliability and disaster-recovery of your average cloud provider.



It also has the property of being less correlated with other failures, which may or may not be an advantage.


With small events cloud engineers scale better, with large events local engineers scale better.


I have never seen an on-premise environment down as much as Azure is.
