Well, there really shouldn't be be a service-- even across all regions and products-- going down every five minutes. Especially because it would mean service that needed to be in multiple regions around the world would almost always be having some type of issue.
- ineedasername 5y agoHmm, am I wrong in this? I admittedly don't work on things of worldwide or nationwide of that scale so if my statement isn't accurate I like to learn from it. Thanks for any additional insight & explanation.
- gregjor 5y agoYou aren’t necessarily wrong, but there’s a difference between a service at AWS scale experiencing frequent problems (inevitable if you think about it) and what actual impact those problems have. Overall the vast majority of AWS users don’t experience frequent problems. By analogy cars crash every few minutes in my city (Las Vegas), but I can’t conclude that indicates some inherent (or easily fixable) problem with the road infrastructure or the design of cars, or the skill of drivers. The frequent crashes rarely affect me.
- ineedasername 5y agoThanks, that makes sense. I always like to know why I'm wrong, but getting that explanation can be a fine line to avoid looking like you're complaining about downvotes. I could care less about the votes, but I do want to learn. Much appreciated.
