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.

Its crazy, we are seeing unrelated services stop sending emails, issues with DNS, all sorts of strange stuff.

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed? You young ops have gotten soft! Learn to live by ChaosMonkey or die by the Gorilla.
Yeah, but proper failover and recovery requires additional infrastructure, and that costs money.
Hopefully a bunch of risk management people are writing I-told-you-so emails to C-suites right now.
Yeah but not to worry, C-suites have pretty good filtering rules in place to never read them. Saves time, really.
And plausible deniability.

Either that, or the reports stopped coming in since it’s a school day.
I think they’re the only ones doing multi-cloud. If us-east-1 shits the bed, it’s a bad day for AWS in general.
Jesus Amazon is a big enough company they should be doing their own hosting not using AWS.
They’re big enough to be a utility and be nationalized!
And should be
Amazon is using their own hosting. AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. Or did I miss the joke?
Miss
Once upon a time they insisted that Amazon had independent decision making on their providers when they were needing new infrastructure and they “always decided that AWS suited them best.”
Shockingly (/s), they stopped making that claim as soon right about the same time they started admitting that their biggest users are all under Private Pricing Agreements.
Why does Amazon use AWS?
I thought they had an in-house solution.
A lot of AWS are wrappers over said in house solutions
And there’s a push to move off of those to proper AWS

Alright…

The cloud was a scam for people with more money than sense.
Most people hosting things on the cloud, like Fediverse services, would be better off selfhosting and buying the hardware themselves.
It’s almost as if centralizing everything is fucking stupid.
Diversity is a strength when things go bad.
Not my ancestors!
