If netflix is down, then it's something most companies who know how to design fail over can't cope with.
- res0nat0r 14y agoThe last Netflix post mortem mentioned they had a bug in their configuration where they kept sending traffic to already down ELB instances, which was the cause of the last outage for them if I remember correctly.
- incision 14y agoNot necessarily, it could be some element of the Netflix architecture that due to their size and/or design trade-offs has taken longer / is harder to eliminate than it would be for others. Other services, like Twilio, have come through several of these major problems with US-EAST generally unscathed while Netflix has had issues repeatedly.
- iamdave 14y agoNetflix seems to be operating just fine for me in the southwest USA.
- acdha 14y agoAccording to a site which doesn't document what its reports are based on. Given that Netflix worked for me during that period, I'm suspicious that downrightnow might be using EBS somewhere.
