It's an ongoing problem with AWS that has happened before and will happen again. The reason why it seems bigger is that more companies than ever have AWS services and social media blows everything up into grand historical events. It's simply the result of an old system that has experienced a lot of growth and changes which are held together with duct tape, paperclips, and chewing gum. The obvious fixes are too expensive and slower than just putting up with waiting for the DNS caches to clear and resolve over the course of several days. Basically, the fault lies with privatization and all the "optimization" that comes with system design under capitalism.
