The wikipedia page for EC2 lists a couple similar incidents at the Northern Virginia datacenter. Victims of the previous NVa outages included Reddit, Quora, SpringPad, FourSquare, Netflix, etc...
Many of those companies are down right now... why didn't they learn? FourSquare seems to be up - although slow. I can load Quora but didn't try to log in. Netflix, Reddit, SpringPad, seem to be down for me.

- dangrossman 14y agoLearning doesn't magically triple your hosting budget or your ops team headcount. Sometimes 99.9% availability is all you can afford... or all that makes sense to do the work for. Netflix didn't go down, though; I've been watching TV on it throughout this incident.
- krenoten 14y agoTrue, and learning on a monday morning is certainly easier than learning during peak hours for some of these companies. It does lead one to reexamine the value of another 9, however. Out of curiosity, does it often cost triple to shift half of the instances/LB's/etc... to another datacenter and implement the proper consistency mechanisms?
