Can't just revert back a DC.
In that case, it'd be a simple matter of tossing the old DC and spinning up a new one. More of an annoyance than anything else.
Yes. Mostly stateless. Would be scary if you put all DCs on azure though. Or any live/live system like this where an environmental change might lock out the entire environment.

So did this happen to you? or was this a "what if" situation?

I have my entire environment on AWS, spread across two geographic regions with a site-to-site VPN. Upping it a level would be putting one part on AWS and the other on Azure, with a site-to-site VPN between the two.

Really happened but while testing. So no bad outcome. So it's a "what if" now.

Yes. Having one node in Rackspace would have protected against this.
