So, in a nut shell, Amazon had a single point of failure which touched
off this entire incident.
I am still waiting for proof that single points of failure can
realistically be completely eliminated from any moderately complicated
network environment / application. So far, I think murphy is still
winning on this one.
Good job by the AWS team however, I am sure your new procedures and
processes will receive a shakeout again, and it will be interesting to
see how that goes. I bet there will be more to learn along this road for
us all.
