I feel like the internet should probably be hosted in as many different servers and physical locations as possible. It seems alarming that these things happen as often as they do

    It was only the one AWS region that went down, us-east-1. Unfortunately that's the big kahuna. But they've got regions and availability zones around the globe. The services that went down due to the outage need to get some cross-region redundancy happening, but that's the kind of thing that's never a priority until the moment you need it.

    Even the places that did have redundancy - didn't have actually tested failovers.

    Source: working at a place hosted in multiple locations. Didn't mean shit. Somebody, if not many somebody's, is definitely getting fired when the smoke clears.
