A large multinational corporation can go a long way by splitting they IT infra into multiple regions and doing maintenance in different regions at different time.

This idea sounds nice, but there's a high maintenance cost to this.

- How will you maintain multiple deployments across multiple regions in the world? Backups, security patches will start to take a toll. - How granular is the right split? Not every country has a cloud provider. Then you need to start thinking about regions and office timings and then it starts to get all blurry.

Exactly, that's how you do it. Having one system for the whole world is risky.
