It's far from perfect!-----AWS outages and cloud computing, explained | Popular Science
Amazon Web Services and other major cloud providers underpin much of the internet. Here's what to know about them—and why they can fail.
"In the first two weeks of this month, Amazon Web Services (AWS) hit some bumps that caused two outages...catalyzed disruptions across a range of websites and online applications, including Google, Slack, Disney Plus, Amazon, Venmo, Tinder, iRobot, Coinbase, and The Washington Post.
"In the first two weeks of this month, Amazon Web Services (AWS) hit some bumps that caused two outages...catalyzed disruptions across a range of websites and online applications, including Google, Slack, Disney Plus, Amazon, Venmo, Tinder, iRobot, Coinbase, and The Washington Post.
These services all rely on AWS to provide cloud computing for them—in fact, AWS is the leading cloud computing provider among other big players like Microsoft Azure, Google, IBM, and Alibaba.
To understand why the impact was so big, and what steps that companies can take to prevent something like these disruptions in the future, it makes sense to take a step back and take a look at what cloud computing is, and what it’s good for.
