Looks like all three major cloud platforms are experiencing problems right now. Could be internet related?

everything is labeled severity 1. I've had three dozen of them in the last two months.
only 2 of them were actually severity 1 when seen from my point of view, most of the other had impact on part of the infra I don't use or datacenter we don't have res, so filtering relevant messages would be a good start.
(that's not to say the other sev 1 were mislabeled, but we keep our cloud services integration to a minimum precisely to avoid these interruption from failing dependencies.)
but what is really annoying is that when one actual sev 1 that requires machine reboots happens (we had 3 in two years, so not even that bad), there's no way to manually anticipate the reboot ourselves to perform a staggered reload.
On a more serious note it's cool to see how far the IBM cloud has come (terrible name, but oh well) but they still seem a few years behind the major players
What are you trying to say exactly? And why should customers turn their attention to IBM?

All US based really is not a selling point.
As a European, I wouldn't bet my company (if I had one ;)) on a provider who's engineers are all in a TZ 5-8 hours different from me.

If you want to promote your product, more apropos and therefore constructive would be a comment detailing why it did not suffer the same outage, or justified speculation why its competitors did. Engage in the conversation rather than just naming a list of features.
But, I see things like https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/terraform-provider-ibm exist, so it must be at least reasonably usable.
What's a reason why someone would consider this over the big three, besides sweetheart deals for big customers?
