Comment on The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums.

  The company I work for is an Azure shop. However, our provider for customer OTP tokens uses AWS… So still in trouble.

  Once Larry Ellison owns TikTok he's going to be babysitting all the teenagers and a whole bunch of other people!

        If daddy croaks now we will see how much is actually David’s doing vs Larry

  Sure, but online services can certainly leverage multiple modules, from multiple companies, hosted in multiple places. So maybe your site mostly works fine, but a key aspect of it is broken.

    from multiple companies

    See the above post from the Azure shop … that uses AWS for 2FA tokens

    You want to add multiple companies in parallel as alternates/failovers, not in serial where any one failure blocks the whole flow

      But that would cost more money, that's anticapitalist.

        Yes, it’s much more expensive to have two providers. Both in terms of outright costs but even more so in terms of ongoing engineering/technical overhead.

        The calculus is how much the expectation downtime is, versus that cost. It’s a reasonable calculation and TBH if outages are a few hours once every few years for most cases it’s acceptable.

        OFC if your hospitals or emergency services depend on a cloud service, you happily fork over the extra money same as you do for any other insurance.

      Also allow things fail gracefully, independent of each other.
