Do events like this stir conversations in small to medium size businesses to escape the cloud?
- rovr138 1y agoDepends how small. I have clients and I’ve heard “even Amazon is down, we can be down” more than once.
- FigurativeVoid 1y agoIt would have to be catastrophic for most businesses to make think about escaping the cloud. The cost of migration and maintenance are massive for small and medium businesses.
- tonymet 1y agoThis isn't a "cloud failure". All of these apps would be running now had they spent the additional 5% development costs to add failover to another region.
- decimalenough 1y agous-east1 is supposed to consist of a number of "availability zones" that are independent and stay "available" even if one goes down. That's clearly not happening, so yes, this is very much a cloud failure.
- tonymet 1y agoIt's an AWS failure, perhaps, but it's not a reason to write off "the cloud"

- ilikecakeandpie 1y agoProbably, but they're usually dropped after they come back up
