The moment I get a whiff of AWS issues, that's basically a wrap on the day. I'm not going to spend my time wondering why something isn't working today because somewhere down the chain it is undoubtedly a silently failing AWS service driving me mad. The whole house of cards comes tumbling down and things stop working that Amazon will swear up down left and right are 100% healthy. Sadly this has become a monthly occurrence at this point. Monoculture, it turns out, is a really really bad idea.
