From off-prem to just off: IBM Cloud goes down planet-wide so hard even the status page didn't work

store it in the cloud they said

it will be always available they said

but "they said" did not take into account network outages (like this one) or a break in your local fibre preventing you from accessing your preciouses files...

naaaaah, old school with on-prem is still king for now.

Sure, use cloud for backup or data retention... and hope that it will be online when you need to restore a file or whatever....
