Yip, this is why I am dead set against this cloud hosting nonsense. On premise self hosting has always worked and you are also in control of what you update and when you want to update.

Agree, but having dealt with problems on both sides of those coins.

I prefer to have an outage on a major cloud service.
Clients are much more understanding when you can show them that
it's this major company that is down, and they are dealing with the problem.

I hear you but think of revenue that is lost when things like this go down. Easier just to cut over to a DR site and continue with operations than having to wait for your cloud provider to resolve their issues.

But ya, this is the way the world is going.

You have never run Exchange on-prem. Ever.

This is a blip compared to that noise.

Plus if there's some random issue that affects you, you had to wait for them to patch it, if they ever did. Now it hits everyone, they'll be on it way faster...

I fully agree, if you have a proper DR site which is properly set up, then it's amazing.
The company I worked for did self-hosting but did not have a proper DR site :sick:

Most companies don't have proper DR setups, because they're expensive and are hard to justify to the beancounters. Until they're needed of course, and then its too late.
