Most companies just aren't important enough to worry about "AWS never come back up." Planning for this case is just like planning for a terrorist blowing up your entire office. If you're the Pentagon sure you'd better have a plan for that. But most companies are not the Pentagon.
- Frieren 1y ago> Most companies just aren't important enough to worry about "AWS never come back up." But a large enough of "not too big to fail" companies become a too big to fail event. Too many medium sized companies have a total dependency on AWS or Google or Microsoft, if not several at the same time. We live in a increasingly fragile society, one step closer to critical failure because big tech is not regulated in the same way than other infrastructure.
- raincole 1y agoWell I agree. I kinda think the AI apocalypse would not be like a skynet killing us, but a malware be patched onto all the Tesla and causes one million crashes tomorrow morning.

- coffeebeqn 1y agoMany have a hard dependency on AWS && Google && Microsoft!
- paulddraper 1y agoExactly. And FWIW, "AWS is down"....only one region (out of 36) of AWS is down. You can do the multi-region failover, though that's still possibly overkill for most.
