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.

It's almost as if centralizing everything is fucking stupid.

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed? You young ops have gotten soft! Learn to live by ChaosMonkey or die by the Gorilla.

Jesus Amazon is a big enough company they should be doing their own hosting not using AWS.

Maybe it was a bad idea for society to put 90% of the internet on one company's infrastructure.

Let's take a decentralized network and centalize it! Nothing will surely go wrong.

It's kind of telling when Amazon services like Ring, Prime Video, and Alexa failed over pretty quickly, but everything else just didnt.

There's no conspiracy here. It's just highlighting that Amazon could prepare for AWS outages in a region, but since everything auth related was on us-east-1, everything else went down.

Shortcuts are costly.

Hey! Great idea! Let's make all of the internet rely on one service from one evil company! What could go wrong?

Figma balls wheeeyyyy

Why does Amazon use AWS?

I thought they had an in-house solution.

…and I did not even notice it, aside from the news here.

I am grateful that my past me (from few months ago) decided to study Slavic philology, instead of getting stupid tech job. I hate modern tech, including anything from big corporations.

I am also glad that I've switched to Linux (Debian ftw) to escape software enshittification.

The cloud was a scam for people with more money than sense.

Most people hosting things on the cloud, like Fediverse services, would be better off selfhosting and buying the hardware themselves.

figma ballz hahaha gotem

Edit: ohh noooo I just saw PhobosAnomaly’s post, I am so slow

even the websites for local health systems have been going down. At this point if we have an event like Y2K was supposed to be, we are so fucked lol

What are these random fucking websites though

Shit, none of my websites are slow. Fuck Amazon

Diversity is a strength when things go bad.
