how is it that amazon.com itself is never, ever, impacted?
edit: so basically, the businesses suffering outages (heroku, netflix, etc) don't value uptime to the same extent that amazon does. they got what they paid for.
- dkulchenko 14y agoThis outage only affected us-east-1. Considering an Amazon.com outage would cost them $51k in lost sales every minute, I seriously doubt they put all their eggs (servers, that is) in one basket.
- sofuture 14y agoAmazon.com does not run on the same EC2 that you and I use. It runs on a nearly identical system that is isolated and private to Amazon. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in entirely different physical locations.
