> It happened at Amazon AWS has never had a worldwide outage of anything (feel free to correct me). It's not about finding "the airline that never crashed", it's finding the airline whose planes don't crash all at the same time. It's pretty surprising coming from Google because 15 years ago they already had a world-class infrastructure, while Amazon was only known for selling books on the Internet. Regarding the response times, I recognize that Amazon could do better on the communication during the outage. They tend to wait until there is a complete failure in an availability zone to put the little "i" on their green availability checkmark, and not signal things like elevated error rates.

  I stand corrected, my statement was too broad. AWS had two regions in 2008 [1]. That was 7 years ago, and I think you would agree that running a distributed object storage system across an ocean is a whole different beast than ensuring individual connectivity to servers in 2016. 1: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/ https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/
