    Everyone says this every time us-east-1 goes down, in 3 months it’ll be forgotten.

      And in 2 years, it will be back in the headlines! Because us-east-1 always goes down, and AWS and its customers are destined to repeat the same mistakes, and reporters will rinse & repeat.

      Honestly - the worst part was that the AWS web console was affected. Even companies & teams that have multi-region failover and DR plans struggle when they can’t use the console.

        AWS seems to have a helluva lot of failure points too. I’m not an IT expert, but I’m pretty sure this is far from the first time this has happened, correct?
