Major AWS Outage Today

[Demon_Skeith]

Amazon's East-1 bucket went down today, with it taking a good amount of the internet with it from game services, reddit, to snapchat. At this time, Amazon seems to be finally restoring their services, but nearly 24 hours downtime is not a good look for their cloud services.

Not sure if it affected forum emails today, since we use AWS but I think we were fine.

Hopefully, Amazon improves the reliability of AWS, so it does not happen again.

I suppose it was a boring day for Amazon workers on Monday lol, I would hate to have to stand around and do nothing at work for hours. If they let them sit down that's a different story but I highly doubt they got to sit.

I highly doubt AWS going down meant they were sitting around doing nothing. They were scrambling to get it back up.
