Don’t blame it on AWS. Blame it on people who cram their stuff into a single Region and often single AZ. And then everyone is in US-East-1 because they copyasta from the examples. People who setup correctly wouldn’t have noticed this outage except for a lower bill this month

Can't blame the bookstore. Vacuum cleaners need to build redundancy in their architectures - and not just for air flow...
