Pretty damning if you ask me... https://aws.amazon.com/message/12721/

"At 7:30 AM PST, an automated activity to scale capacity of one of the AWS
services hosted in the main AWS network triggered an unexpected behavior
from a large number of clients inside the internal network. This resulted
in a large surge of connection activity that overwhelmed the networking
devices between the internal network and the main AWS network, resulting in
delays for communication between these networks. These delays increased
latency and errors for services communicating between these networks,
resulting in even more connection attempts and retries. This led to
persistent congestion and performance issues on the devices connecting the
two networks."

We didnt test our software fully before deployment, and got bitten by a
situation we didnt test for. And Bezos wants us to trust this to put people
in space?
