Our production infrastructure is on Azure and we're seeing basically no impact from this event. I'm not sure what constitutes a major outage but we've had a few others this year that were much worse than this in terms of business impact.
- jmartens 5y agoFair point. Lots of stuff kept working, just the things that required auth were failing. So broad, but not deep.
- topspin 5y agoI spent two hours attempting to detect any impact to my services from the AWS US-West-2 outage that happened earlier today. I found nothing. Strange.
- callmeal 5y agoThe us-west outage did not affect connectivity to the west coast. Our west coast customers had no problems with that connectivity, but our east coast and overseas customers had problems for a couple of hours.
- Hamuko 5y agoI didn't actually have issues connecting to our us-west servers from Europe.
- topspin 5y ago90% of my users are either in Florida or Alaska.
- dylan604 5y agoYou can't get any more west coast than Alaska
- mbg721 5y agoYou also can't get any more east-coast than Alaska.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoCounterpoint: Maine.
- wahern 5y agoI thought they were referring to the fact that the westernmost part of Alaska is in the Eastern Hemisphere.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoThere's no such thing as the Eastern Hemisphere, just like there is no East Pole. To the extent the phrase has meaning, the claim is still untrue; the International Date Line goes out of its way to avoid crossing Alaska.
- wahern 5y ago> There's no such thing as the Eastern Hemisphere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Hemisphere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Hemisphere Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisopochnoi_Island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisopochnoi_Island ("At 179°46' East (+179.7667) (in the Eastern Hemisphere), the easternmost tip of Semisopochnoi is, by longitude, the easternmost land location in the United States and North America.") FWIW, Semisopochnoi Island is a TIL moment for me, too =)
- simonh 5y agoThe latitude and longitude of a point don’t depend on that point’s time zone. Ask a geographer or cartographer about hemispheres.

- bartread 5y agoSame. I'd have got repeated calls from PagerDuty, and probably not that much sleep, if we'd seen any impact from this.
- mrjin 5y agoAzure has data centers all over the globe, how likely is it to impact all of them? So even if all your infrastructures were provisioned in one single physical data center, it's highly likely the incident had nothing to do with your stuff.
