The release process, monitoring checks, etc. for a customer's private cloud is generally significantly different from the release process for a global product. I'm not going to get any more specific for all the standard NDA reasons, but having worked for Google and Microsoft among others....no, the risk you describe doesn't translate from one to the other.

Do you not remember crowdstrike?

Again: an outage caused by a config change is different from data loss.

The remediation was painful but it was not data loss.

I understand you believe the checks cannot fail that catastrophically, and I agree that the likelihood they do is quite low.

But it can happen, and it only has to happen once. (Also FYI, telling me your work history just tells me you've drunk the koolaid, ain't proof you know more.)
