The other leg is AWS. If both go down, it's stone knives and bearskins.

    Yeah, the other fat chunky leg could be AWS. But neither is that tiny pillar supporting everything.

    Whether intentional or not, that XKCD comic also pointed out a problem that even when some of the other things holding up the entire modern internet are huge, they're still a problem because there aren't very many of them, so half the Internet depends on them.
