No, that quotation on the GP clearly states that AWS has enough redundancy within the same region that they will continue all services running on it if a datacenter is destroyed.

It's very clearly not about you being able to set-up redundancy for yourself.

Get some training. You dont even understand the core concepts, and the difference between a data center and an availability zone...

That's actually true. AWS is designed to survive one datacenter being offline (which happened more than once, btw). When the first DC in ME was hit, AWS continued working normally, with only a few services experiencing issues.

But it's not designed to survive TWO datacenters going offline, and in a permanent fashion.
