My theory is that Amazon and Google are more prepared to handle surges because they run some of the largest web properties. This like every day is Black Friday

This like every day is Black Friday for Amazon. It's rough, but not something they have never dealt with before.
- leesalminen 7y agoGCP and GSuite had outages this week listed on their status pages. AWS has been rock solid for us in the 3 regions we operate in.
- dodobirdlord 7y agoThe GCP outages don't seem to have been capacity related though, they were both networking issues. In one of them they broke their traffic routing to a datacenter in Atlanta, and in the other one an unnamed cloud provider (that pretty much has to be AWS) broke inbound inter-cloud traffic in us-east1 (so presumably AWS borked the link from Google's us-east1 to AWS us-east-1). These seem like normal sorts of cloud issues that happen to coincide with covid-19.
