pg, or someone else from HN... Could you please edit this title for accuracy? Maybe, "Poorly designed sites taken out because of problems in one Amazon availability zone."
- Terretta 14y agoThat's editorializing. For many sites, a single server in a single zone (e.g., a non redundant server, an instance, a slice, a VM, whatever) is the right decision for ROI. For many sites, the money spent on redundancy could be better spent on, say, Google Adwords, until they're big enough that a couple hours downtime has irreplaceable costs higher than the added costs of redundancy (dev, hosting, admin) for a year.
- lr 14y agoYes, it is editorializing. My point is, but I guess too subtle, that the current link text is very much an editorial comment, especially since the content at that link location has nothing to do with the sites mentioned in the link text.
- lgsilver 14y agoThis issue is affecting both an EC2 Zone and Amazon's RDS servers, which are technically multi-zone. There are a ton of well-architected apps and sites that have been affected. Unconstructive...

IMHO: I sum it all up as "Digital Rights." -The right to not have your traffic limited, and controlled by ISP -The right to purchase a non DRM "file" and use it on your phone, computer, etc free of burned from some company -Ability to install what ever you want on your $600+ device *Edit for: formatting, and additional thought.
