other sysadmin communities and downdetector are reporting outages worldwide to the admin portals such as admin.microsoft.com and portal.azure.com.
No impact to user-facing services, yet.
I’m glad Amazon just laid off 14k people. Our “AI” overlords are successfully running our tech stacks.
AWS seems to be cratering as well: downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/
Downdetector just tracks the number of people visiting their site. Any outage is going to cause a spike in all graphs.
Probably not AWS directly, just services on AWS that are also tied into azure. Quite the impressive failure domain.
You were supposed to make it dependent on AWS or Azure!
But AWS and Azure!
Or maybe services that had aws as a backup being overwhelmed by the excess of demand
Remember when the sales pitch of The Cloud was it would always be online?
The cloud is just someone else’s computer, and it always has been.
But usually with smarter people operating more complex and resilient systems.
Or so you’d think lol.
Back to self hosted datacenters it is. We rely on big tech way too much.
No, but their uptime is a lot better than most. A lot of companies would have monthly outages just for patching before they moved to massively scaled hosted services.
Remember when BlackBerry would have an outage maybe once a year and everyone complained?
True but the impact of these AWS/Azure/Google outages is huge and affects companies and services world wide.
All that Genocide Profiteering got you down Microsoft?
