    Amazon sneezes, the whole internet catches a cold.

    Im still seeing services up/down the entire day at work. Services that are not even AWS like Azure are slow for some reason (probably businesses failing over to other infa). Its crazy.

    None of our in office infa is having issues. Managers are talking about fail-overs all day lol.

      When a handful of people own all the companies in the world, the whole world becomes a single point of failure.

      There are some downstream / knock on effects going on which can be explained…but I can’t help but wonder if today’s story is bigger than just AWS. AWS saying it was an outage of a “few hours” for DynamoDB and DNS…and that doesn’t line up all that great with what people are reporting in the wild . I’m not trying to start a conspiracy theory, just wondering what the post mortems will tell us, if anything. Obviously the suits want to keep embarrassing fuckups downplayed as much as possible.
