other sysadmin communities and downdetector are reporting outages worldwide to the admin portals such as admin.microsoft.com and portal.azure.com.

No impact to user-facing services, yet.

AWS seems to be cratering as well: https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/

And Google, why not?

Probably not AWS directly, just services on AWS that are also tied into azure. Quite the impressive failure domain.

You were supposed to make it depend on AWS or Azure!

Not AWS and Azure!

Remember when the sales pitch of The Cloud was it would always be online?

Back to self hosted datacenters it is. We rely on big tech way too much.

No, but their uptime is a lot better than most. A lot of companies would have monthly outages just for patching before they moved to massively scaled hosted services.

Remember when BlackBerry would have an outage maybe once a year and everyone complained?

True but the impact of these AWS/Azure/Google outages is huge and affects companies and services world wide.

It's only really noteworthy because it affects everyone at the same time. If everyone had an individual outage for the same duration at a random time, it wouldn't even be noticeable in most cases.

On the other hand, when service X is down, you can go to another service or do something else... When half of the services are down, well...

It's like one chicken farmer invented a new low cost web-scale egg storage container.

The main thing i learn in these outages is that so many services are lot less important than people think and many people spend far too many hours in work. Definitely less useful than chickens at any rate.

I’m glad Amazon just laid off 14k people. Our “AI” overlords are successfully running our tech stacks.
