AWS was working “fine” for about 10 years without live migration, and I’ve had several individual machines running without a reboot or outage for quite literally half a decade. Enough to hit bugs like this: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00092...
Anyway, depending on individual nodes to always be up for reliability is incredibly foolhardy. Things can happen, cloud isn't magic, I’ve had instances become unrecoverable. Though it is rare.
So, I still don’t understand the point, that was not exactly relevant to what I said.
