Imagine AWS, Azure and Google Cloud services go down at the same day. 80% of internet is down lmao.
Nice misinformation.
AWS reports no issues: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
Also downdetector just spans 24h.
The outage was 4 days ago on Monday.
It reportedly took the AWS status page 7 hours to figure out their services were down during the 1st outage, so I wouldn’t put too much stock in that
In case folks aren’t aware, AWS status page is not live. It is a human-driven page that is updated manually.
The fortune 100 company I used to work for would be notified prior to the status page being updated for an issue before the status page is updated.
Do not rely on their status page to tell you there is a problem.
No it didn’t. It was less than 15 minutes.

Did that guy get back on his custom yacht yet?
It was probably Hannibal Lecter under his Directive.
Have they tried turning it off and on again?
Kek (again)
In July, its cloud computing unit cut at least hundreds of jobs — and perhaps more — following a warning from CEO Andy Jassy that the adoption of generative AI would lead to layoffs.
“As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done,” Jassy said in a note to employees in June, per Reuters. “We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs.”
Haa ha. Fucking idiots.
“Guys look out, this might lead to job loss.”
“JOB LOSS? UHHHH…” Fires a bunch of people, for some reason
It’s got the same energy as being warned that your house could burn down if you let your kid play with matches so you pour some gasoline on your kitchen floor and make a bonfire.
Also I love how these people will do this shit without even checking if it would actually work but a 4-day work week, which we know will benefit everyone through many case studies, is apparently too much of a risk. Executives really are the dumbest, cruelest people humanity has to offer.
Beautiful. I wish AI providers and data centers would suffer the same outages.
Do we know why yet? can I get odds on AI generated code being pushed without review?
It literally happened right after they fired a bunch of humans to lean more on AI…

*With AI review :)
Aaaahahaahaha, oh it’s beautiful to see. Yeah, move all our production DBs to the cloud NOW why dontcha? Ohh, Amazon’s uptime is super reliable? well guess what
tbh it’s still more uptime than I can manage myself
When an AI ships some random slop to Prod.
ohnosecond
The issue appears to be DNS related so that takes time to propagate
DNS again?
A haiku:
“It’s not DNS.”
“It couldn’t be DNS.”
It was DNS.
It does, and looking like their internal DynamoDB api’s are the main symptom of it/
Probably undoing whatever it was they did on Monday (and badly patched in the meantime)
Regardless of the cause, this is not gonna help their reputation. Most people will see this as a 2nd outage soon after the 1st.
