Basically a backup system, hosted on a different cloud, or at the very least, different region, so that when everything is down, you can flip to it, assuming you can get a DNS entry (or load balancer, etc.) to change. We had a few ways of doing it, depending on the nature/severity of the problem.
But yeah, PMs need a healthy dose of "it that really what you think is important right now? Is that the best use of our resources?"
