> The discount seems way too small.

> I would pay a premium for a cloud provider happy to give 100 percent discount for the month for 10 minutes downtime, and 100 percent discount for the year for an hour's downtime.

It takes a lot of effort (exponential) to reliably (I. E. Designed to fail-working) build something that is guaranteed to have this level of uptime at these penalties.

So I'm sure that I can build something that works like this, but would you pay me $100 per GB of storage per month? $100 per wall-time hour of CPU usage? $100 per GB of Ram used per hour? Because these are the premium prices for your specs.
