That's a lot of overhead. Do you know how they are calculating the possible risk of these events? It feels like there are a million rabbit holes like this you could go down when modern infrastructure is so cloud connected.

Is the risk of your git repos higher than a chip shortage causing you to lose access to the infrastructure you need? So many factors to consider. A chip shortage doesn't seem that unlikely with geopolitics.

The list of scenarios you mitigate for seem like they could very easily be an arbitrary list of the of scenarios a single person came up with.



It's an astonishing amount of overhead that slows everything to a veritable crawl. It also creates downstream issues because you need to build in contingencies for your service consumers until you are able to fully abstract the dependency to a point where rehoming doesn't impact them.

The risk calculations are very primitive at the moment, I'm guessing they will be refined over time as industry feedback starts to resonate.
