I used to be obsessed with high uptimes like that. However, I’m now responsible for maintaining uptimes much higher than 4 nines. Having seen the work it takes to maintain systems with over 9 nines of availability, having to guarantee 100% uptime for customers, and administration of services that are ancient (including one closing in on 75 years with zero downtime), it just does not hold the same force on me anymore. My personal systems get what they get and professionally I never kill myself for those SLAs and SLOs anymore. Now that doesn’t mean I don’t care about uptime, but if they cared then they would find the proper way to motivate me.
