outages are inevitable tbh. even with redundancy measures like region failover - what if both regions fail? this is why you can ignore all moronic talk about "AI" supplanting tech jerbs. there's always something that Fails and requires some Nerd or underpaid Loser to fix.

I hope so. If I can make it about 5 more years without getting replaced I'm going to retire, move to rural Alaska and live off the grid

I took a half measure and moved to rural CT. It seems like as things get Bad and then Worse, liberal artists everywhere are trying to assure us that everything is fine and we are creating a New Humanity. Well I don’t buy it. I’m not gonna fall for that freakin’ bullcrap.

Reconsidering, would probably live somewhere warmer than Alaska. Maybe Chillicothe Missouri or wardensville west Virginia.

Losers are underpaid compared to Jocks imho. Employers arbitrage the fact that they suck at job interviews.

Amazon doesn't want region fallover for its most critical functions. It wants them all done at one yuge data center. That's why it lags when you click "check out" on Amazon. Critical shit, like placing the actual order for the product, all gets done at one data center. Only the NSA has bigger data centers than Amazon (and it's got like 4 that are bigger now)

Because companies are properly evaluated on their response times. It's naive for investors to think AWS would never go down when AWS employs so many technicians to fix shit in the event that a failure occurs. This was really a test of AWS' ability to respond to disaster. There's no way to simulate that.

Most of the down time (like 99%) was just the time it takes for computers to reboot. Rebooting a whole data center takes like 9 hours because everything (routing, caching, failure modes, etc) has to be dealt with sequentially. The outages seemed "sporadic" because some data center operations came online sooner than others.

They had to reboot a DNS server, and in the process we learned that every company you can name makes API calls to that DNS server. Is it really Amazon's fault that so many fucking companies use its services?
