The next time a foundational service stutters—and it will, because complex systems *always* have failure modes—will your business be one of the thousands that grinds to a halt, or one of the few that merely experiences a blip? The reality is that while cloud providers will continue to invest billions in infrastructure, the responsibility for ultimate business continuity rests squarely on the shoulders of the enterprise architect.
