  Cloud services are important for societal function such as healthcare,
commerce, entertainment and education. Cloud can provide a variety of features
such as increased collaboration and inexpensive computing. Failures are
unavoidable in cloud services due to the large size and complexity, resulting
in decreased reliability and efficiency. For example, due to bugs, many
high-severity failures have been occurring in cloud infrastructure of popular
providers, causing outages of several hours and the unrecoverable loss of user
data. There are prior studies about cloud failure analyses are limited and use
sources such as news articles. However, a detailed cloud failure focused study
is required that provides analyses for cloud failure data gathered directly
from the vendors. Furthermore, the Covid-19 cloud failures should be studied as
cloud services played a major role throughout the Covid-19 period, as
individuals relied on cloud services for activities such as working from home.
A program can be made for this task. As a result, we will be able to better
understand and mitigate cloud failures to reduce the effect of cloud failures.
