I think this is a good example of how the "cloud" is not a silver bullet to making your site always up. AWS provides a way to keep it up, but it is up to each developer to ensure that they are using AWS in a way to make sure their site can handle problems in one availability zone. I think we will see more of a focus from big users of AWS about focusing on how to create a redundant service using AWS. Or at least I hop…

NetFlix should sell their chaos monkey as a commercial product.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My four-day weekend is already off to a bad start(UK here).

Why do you get a 4 day weekend?

Yay for relying on the cloud \o/

That's like saying "yay for relying on a datacenter"

Current status: bad things are happening in the North Virginia datacenter. EC2, EBS and RDS are all down on US-east-1. Edit: Heroku, Foursquare, Quora and Reddit are all experiencing subsequent issues.

Not all EC2 & EBS instances are down. I have several in US-east-1a and 1 is down, while all of the others are working.
