Anyone have betting odds on when Google will go down next? Are we looking at all 3 providers having outages in the span of 3 weeks?

#182The Internet is supposed to be decentralized. The big three seem to have all the power now (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) plus Cloudflare/Oracle. How did we get here? Is it because of scale? Going to market in minutes by using someone else's computers instead of building out your own, like co-location or dedicated servers, like back in the day.
Thats the whole point, big players like AWS and MS can go down, but here we are still talking on the internet.
Decentralisation is winning it seems.

#183looks like MS completed a failover and things are be recovering slowly

It's absolutely not only the admin portal. It's CDN and FrontDoor at least.
Interesting, everything else is working just fine for us. Offices across the US.
Do you use on front door? Our VMs that don't are working fine, but our app services that do aren't.

A lot of money and years of marketing the cloud as the responsible business decision led us here. Now that the cloud providers have vendor lock-in, few will leave, and customers will continue to wildly overpay for cloud services.

Consolidation is the inevitable outcome of free unregulated markets.
In our highly interconnected world, decentralization paradoxically requires a central authority to enforce decentralization by restricting M&A, cartels, etc.

It still is very decentralized. We are discussing this via the internet right now.

#190LinkedIn has been acting funny for an hour or so, and some pages in the learn.microsoft.com domain have been failing for me too...
