AWS had a larger & longer outage today, than all the outages on the mainframes I’ve worked on in the last 30 years. Much worse. Yet, some here think AWS is going to replace the mainframe for critical applications like banking, health care, big retail, and insurance. Plus, the mainframe has had plenty of negative posts here in the decades I’ve been involved. Nobody dies when Netflix isn’t available. (One of the hits from today) people can and do die if the drugs they need aren’t available because the computer system is down.

Don't we remember the times when things on the mainframe itself went south? Has every site's MF env. been 100% available through all these decades? Is it wrong to fail sometimes? Is this the attitude with which you'd like to retire, holding onto precious remarks and burning the path behind you as you leave? What does that say about one's mentality and outlook in life? - KB ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Wednesday, December 8th, 2021 at 3:54 AM, Ronald Wells <000002ebc63ff5ef-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > Pretty pic/web pages make the $$ did you not get the memo > > -----Original Message----- > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU On Behalf Of > John McKown > > Sent: Tuesday, December 7, 2021 2:57 PM > > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > > Subject: Re: AWS is down. > > ** EXTERNAL EMAIL - USE CAUTION ** > > Oh, but they advertise that they can replace mainframe.
