A while back, I was on a client site that was affected by a sandbox outage that lasted over 3 days. Unfortunately, both of our full copy sandboxes were on this instance and a good number of our developer/configuration sandboxes were as well. Needless to say, we were greatly affected by the outage and when we asked about migrating some of our sandboxes to another instance to reduce the risk for our team, we were told that it was not possible. Today, again, there is another major outage, this time on CS15, and again, most of our development, testing, and full copy sandboxes are affected. It seems crazy to me that customers who seek the cloud for protection against this type of outage do not have the ability to specify that they want their sandboxes distributed across multiple instances. If we have a break/fix situation, we are in a difficult situation given that our development path is dependent on CS15 being operational. Customers should be allowed to spread their developer sandboxes across instances to reduce the impact of another outage.
Vote for the idea here.
