AWS? You kids have good life, try Oracle Cloud, let me show you... oh sorry can't login now
This made me laugh. I get shocked looks of disbelief and claims that AWS are basically gods when I tell people that we're losing packets in eu-west-1 occasionally. The only thing we gained is not having to argue with one vendor when that happens, not two.
I wish AWS would just create a region where failure rate is at 10%. I bet there's a demand for that
Is it really that bad?
No, it really isn't.
Not at all. I run production infrastructure in us-east-1. It has one gone down once due to an AWS issue in 5 years.
