You've got plenty of options. Reboot the server (using a local login, as the server is hosted where employees/support staff are physically close to it), restore the server from a backup, etc...
Let's put it like this, how do you think companies managed before cloud servers? Do you think they just had the attitude of 'Oh damn the server has gone down, nobody can do any work today'? I'd put it to you that contingency plans existed long before cloud hosts did.
