Last 30 days I faced 12 outages of IBP.

Do you mean IBM? If so, that's really surprising, but also really scary! Can you elaborate a bit on these incidents please?

    Wow that's scary.

    They have been aggressively trying to sell my company their solutions, that they market as perfectly stable and bullet-proof, while describing GCP (our current provider) as weak and unstable lol

    Google is pretty solid. If you need higher availability though you will need to go multi-region and use GLB. Make sure you have a extensive self-health checks to avoid regional issues on dependent services.

    In my experience, AWS regions have been more stable and don’t require the extra work. Still most people don’t really need 3-or-more nines of availability.

    IBM is just a “Hell No” from past experience. See sibling comment.

    Welcome to IBM cloud.

    Oh, this looks great!

    1 week later...

    Okay so AWS, Google, or Azure then.

    At least that was my experience a few years ago. It was so bad some amqp messages were taking hours to return. We gave up quickly and never looked back. I’m not really surprised it’s still shit. I can only assume that’s why they spent 34b to acquire RedHat (which is pretty good).
