What’s up with all of the multi-platform outages lately? Seems abnormal looking at historical data. Are there issues affecting the internet backbone or something? Or just a coincidence?
This outage is reportedly impacting 5 services in 1 region.
For those impacted, pretty terrible. But as a heavy user of AWS, I’ve seen these notices posted multiple times on HN and haven’t been impacted by one yet.
us-east-1 is their largest reason, someone told me it's 50% of their revenue
multi-region failover is awfully, awfully expensive.
In my last 7 years I imagine we had ~1 outage a month on average from AWS failures, but who knows if my imagination is accurate.
A lot of institutional knowledge in these massive tech corporations is disappearing and we're starting to reach the tipping point.
Does that salary cap apply to regular enterprise developers working for HR, Accounting, etc., too?
If so, kudos to Amazon.
It’s just a little amazing to imagine that people doing the same work in different places of the country have such huge gaps in salary caps. I think the national average for a high-level software engineer is less than $150k per year.
Also, times are good and rates are crazy. Even at VARs, you can make a lot of cash. I have a buddy who went from $150k to $600k. The guy paid off his mortgage and is at a point where he could burn out and work at Home Depot if he needed to.

It is public information within America that we are to be at “Shields Up” readiness.
