Where's my 4 hour response time when the service fails?

I can get a new mobo or hard drive, router or switch when I call the
vendor, or I can even pre-order one and have it on the shelf if it's
that critical - where's the new cloud when the current one is down?

Is there high availability between cloud vendors  - or do you have
some other mitigation strategy in mind?
