An Amazon Web Services outage has been causing major disruptions around the world. The service provides remote computing services to many apps, websites, governments, universities and companies.
On Downdetector, a website that tracks online outages, users reported issues with Amazon Alexa, Amazon Prime, Snapchat, Ring, Roblox, Fortnite, online broker Robinhood, the McDonald’s app and many others.
Well guess it depends which companies we are talking about, and which if any have multi cloud redundancy… and if they are configured correctly. Obviously if someone has a multi cloud environment, configured perfectly to be unaffected, we just wouldn’t know what they have in the cloud, because the lack of outage wouldn’t generate any news.
