Amazon Outage - Welcome the future leaders IBM, HP and CISCO

I have been tracking the Amazon outage from April 21st and am happy to state though some key service providers have been affected the mood has been optimistic which is a relief for the future of computing in the cloud.
Though Amazon has promised to give a post mortem report it has been a long Easter End for them to bring back their services to normal, and as I write this blog Amazon are still busy resurrecting their dead services.
Easter is a good time to for  service providers of cloud computing to arise from their old practices and review  their IT Governance and  Fault Tolerant  Engineering.
Most cloud vendors have their  IT compliance in place but what about the IT Governance to address  resilient services, the focus should be of Governing for 24x7x365 availability, they may want to map to the COBIT framework for the Cloud.
The second area of Fault Tolerant Cloud Engineering, this is an area where larger investments will be needed especially by a company like Amazon which is known for its frugality. Unfortunately frugality and fault tolerance do not tango, you need large investments to provide resilient systems. Amazon may have to depart from  frugal investing.
Amazon is  legally covered for the cloud outage from any liability but their Brand as well as the confidence of users of  cloud computing service has been affected .
The damage done by Amazon for their approach on frugally building cloud services has affected all Cloud Vendors; it is going to take money and marketing effort to bring back business to the cloud.
I believe the future of cloud computing will  belong to data center hardware vendors like IBM , HP and CISCO  who understand and have expertise in 24x7x365 services.
Customer truest and rely on them for their exceptional support and service.
I see retail vendors like Amazon and software vendors like Microsoft and Oracle who have never been know for being hyper active support being blown away as leaders in Cloud Computing.
Let us Welcome the future  leaders IBM, HP and CISCO who will usher in the next generation of cloud computing.
