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.
As someone with a little insider baseball knowledge, it was just a few hours down of DynamoDB and DNS. However, that caused EC2 to go down for ~1 day, which causes pretty much 1/3 of the internet to go down. Once EC2 sorts themselves out, then teams/companies (almost all amazon services use EC2 in the back end) that use EC2 have to get their ducks back in a row, and that can take any span of time, depending on how well their code was written to handle failures + how many people they are willing to pay oncall/overtime.

When a handful of people own all the companies in the world, the whole world becomes a single point of failure.
Soon: “Welcome to Amazon, I love you.”

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

Maybe it’s cascade effects? Something depends on something else, which depends on a third thing that depends on AWS for something?
They want to keep the news of the rally over the weekend as quiet as possible.
