My company took the opportunity to document what parts of the architecture are most tied to AWS, so that's something.

Do you think aws engineers use aws services to maintain aws?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I remember an issue where Amazon said it took a long time to fix some problem because, despite all their dev tools not being linked to AWS, their door system ran in it and the developers couldn't get to their computers.

You’re joking but yes this does actually happen lol

Yeah those are the foundational services like EC2 powers DynamoDB and everything runs on Route53 which is powered by EC2. Containers on ECS and EKS are just EC2 instances.

I can't tell if those are actual technical terms or not.

They are all various AWS services

I don't understand why their share is rising, not falling. Is there anything I am not understanding here? Will people rely even more on Amazon after this incident?

Maybe it's from people suddenly realizing how many clients they have but not realizing that was already priced in and reflected in earnings because those clients didn't all show up by surprise this quarter.

Or maybe the downage revealed some new clients that hadn't been priced in.

Though when a tiny portion of the population owns such a large share of the wealth, stock prices are going to do pretty much whatever they want them to do.
