Your AI platform has no disaster recovery plan.
Your database has failover.
Your AI does not.
Twenty years ago, banks learned the hard way —
replicate the data, or lose the business.
So they built DR discipline into every database,
every transaction, every audit.
Then AI arrived.
And the discipline disappeared.
Inference workloads pinned to one region.
Models deployed with no failover path.
GPU capacity nobody can reproduce
when us-central1 has a bad day.
If your fraud detection runs on Vertex AI
and that region goes dark —
your transactions don’t pause.
Your protection does.
The regulators haven’t asked the question yet.
They will.
Multi-region inference on GKE isn’t overengineering.
It’s the same discipline your data already earned.
Your models are production systems.
It’s time they were treated like it.
