If it's not DNS, it's usually a race condition.
AWS: wheeeeee, we had both!
#AWS #AWSoutage

Did anyone notice the AWS outage first hand here?
I only noticed around 7 hours after the news site articles were published, and that was from someone asking me what AWS was haha.
#aws #homelab

AWS down, Internet down: Signal, Prime Video, Epic Games, Fortnite, Duolingo – die Liste der Opfer der globalen AWS-Störung wird länger. Amazon spricht von ‚unterbrochenen Diensten‘ in US-EAST-1, doch betroffen ist die halbe digitale Welt. Ein Weckruf: Wenn eine Cloud stolpert, fällt das Netz. Wer kontrolliert die Infrastruktur, kontrolliert die Kommunikation. #AWS

A good friend of mine has the Muppet character "Beaker" as his avatar. For reasons.
He offers me advice. I offer him advice. We chat. These are #ChatsWithBeaker
#AWS #awsuseast1

Best wishes and sympathy to any former colleagues dealing with us-east-1 going pear-shaped. Looking at the signals, this outage is an extra-weird one, which is unsurprising because with decades of experience, all the non-extra-weird outage scenarios have been discovered and dealt with.

I write up some of my advice on surviving DNS outages as it seems timely #AWS #DNS https://adrianco.medium.com…

The Internet is down…. It was DNS, again
One of the common ways web services fail is problems with DNS. I’ve talked about how to harden systems against DNS related outages before…

TFW nothing in your house is connected to anything outside the house except thru one firewalled wire that you can watch. Not perfect, of course, but it’ll do for now. #aws

It's pretty ironic that part of the promise of cloud computing & CDNs was some form of geographical decentralization of resources, only then to end up with seemingly half the internet involving us-east-1 alone...

Die schockierendste Erkenntnis des Tages war für mich übrigens, dass #Signal offenbar #AWS nutzt.
#awsdown

#Cloudflare #AWS #Azure

It's never a good sign when your Monday morning feed is full of #dns and #aws memes. Monday's eh? 🤷

... and now (because we use eu-west-1at work), our automated AWS service checker for that region has just lit up like a christmas tree.
Problems incoming to many online services across much of Europe, I suspect.
#AWS

It's always DNS.
If it isn't, it's BGP. Which is just fancy DNS.
#awsdown #aws

Funny, is this a competition? #AWS with Dynamo DB, #Azure front door, today #Couldflare...
Will Google top them all and set their outage in the Christmas shopping period? 🤔

Seems #cloudflare maintenance (or #aws outage?) is causing some other service outages. Like my Signal messages won't send at all, and some of the team cannot huddle on Slack

Ein europäischer #Hyperscaler hätte übrigens genauso ausfallen können, völlig egal ob #AWS oder sonst einer. Sowas passiert nun mal.
Hilfreich wäre es aber wenn nicht das halbe Internetz von einer #Cloud

The AWS region us-east-1 seems to be having a bit of a moment and the front page of #AWS

Es ist ja gerade fast so, als wollte Big Tech uns zeigen, dass solche Konzentrationen im Markt nicht gut sind.
#cloudflare #azure #aws

So tax evader 'Amazon' (which takes the name of warrior women and a great river in sheer and highly inappropriate vanity), appears not to have built fail-safe belt and braces redundancy into its server sideline.
#AWS

Meanwhile, because Mastodon server admins are all cheapskates and we're not going to pay the sort of prices for hosting that AWS charge, the Fediverse keeps on chugging away happily while the corporate internet falls apart.
#AWS #AWSdown #Fediverse

Dinge, die man nicht benötigt:
Ein Ausfall bei #AWS legte vergangene Woche die smarten Betten von #EightSleep lahm.
Nutzer konnten weder Position noch Temperatur steuern. Manche mussten die Nacht sitzend oder schwitzend verbringen. Die Geräte waren ausschließlich cloudgebunden, ein

Smarte Betten um 3000 Dollar funktionierten nach dem AWS-Ausfall nicht mehr
Nutzer mussten in unbequemen Positionen schlafen oder schwitzen, weil sich die Heizung nicht mehr abschalten ließ. Der Hersteller liefert jetzt einen Offline-Modus

I couldn’t scan my Tim’s reward today because their system was down. I blame the #AWSOutage and thus demand Digital Sovereignty for all Canadian Businesses*!
HOW DARE AN AMERICAN MEGA-INTERNET PROVIDER DEPRIVE ME OF MY TIMMY POINTS!!

Oh no, this is the road
To hell

#AWS goes down due to DNS.
