I see this as fantastic. Sooner or later, folks will wake up to the fact that they can run things better on their own - for less money. These hyperscalers are HUGE targets and massively complicated to keep running. One typo, rogue developer, hacker or nation state can bring them to their knees. I watch these massive meltdowns with glee. They seem to be getting both more impactful and more frequent - beginning to believe taking the data back from them is part of the 'plan', and that these events are wakeup calls.
I operate multiple cryptocurrency businesses through AWS cloud. One of them is rather large.. and it did have several services go down in the past 24 hours. All due to AWS issues.
us-east-1 has always been the most problematic in terms of number and magnitude of outages. It is the first AWS region, and is the place where most new features/testing seems to take place. That said, outages are usually focused on a service, or just a few. Looking forward to see the action report on this one.
Yes, logon servers for many LOB applications are down. I am unable to do my normal work, input time, remote into servers so on...
A friend works for TSYS and they have been down most of the day

Is this affecting our 'brave' public servants that are still working from home after all this time (devolution)?
No they can still get stoned and watch cartoons.
Yup, quite a few platforms that rely on AWS for auth were down most of the day.

Edit: We are back online now, though.
When 98% of the nodes that literally are the backbone for some of these currencies.. are running on a centralized server host (AWS)
It puts a monkey wrench in the "decentralized" claim :D
Jeez, yes. Photos won't upload, passwords mysteriously don't work, wifi connected devices not working. Noticed it on iPhone and iPad really bad today.
Ahh I thought my phone was just acting shitty🐸
