Agreed. Why did this happen and who of all the resident clients were affected and why?
Curious that so many of their client sites/services were affected by this as much as they were. S3 has over a dozen more sites over the USA. Is this an issue of redundancy failing, or clients not purchasing the redundancy options, or traffic/delay to the redundant sites causing problems? Really - if they are to offer cloud services like this and they fail like they did yesterday - the public needs to know WTF happened!

I have no idea how this works in AWS, but in Azure it’s fairly trivial; I would expect the same of AWS. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew S.

Some data center provider (okay, so you might run your own) Some power provider Some Internet provider It's not like they have internet outages every week, and it's not like various organizations relying upon them haven't had outages for their own reasons. Technology breaks, which is why we RAID, cluster, backup, failover and farm our systems, devices and data centers.
