Makes me wonder how much use it actually gets if this is the first we’re hearing about it. Edit: Incidentally news of the original strike was posted on HN 5 months ago and flagged, for whatever reason. Why would it be flagged? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47317587
It's been extensively reported on, and any AWS user that clicks on the health dashboard would also have seen it, even if they don't consume from news outlets. As for use it gets: plenty of use, mostly when someone needs to have their worlds close to that area (usually latency or legal reasons). There are a lot of smaller businesses that lost a lot (or maybe even everything) because their never thought they would need…
Are you implying that something that gets reported on, shouldn't be on HN? Also, clearly it wasn't that extensive if GP hadn't heard about it

Part of it is the clash with the pages UI. Dark black cards in the middle of a light theme.

The entire houseofsaud.com site appears to be LLM-generated, I wouldn't trust a single thing it says.

There was a building hit near the data center on the first day of the war and that took down one AZ (unfortunately, two of my three EC2 instances were in that AZ). The hit on April 1 pretty much took it all down. Fortunately I had relatively up-to-date backups (both within 24 hours before each outage) so all I lost was a little email (spam) and some libera chat logs. I've moved to ap-southeast-1, which means trading a ~ 60ms ping to ~ 110ms.

I wouldn't trust a single thing it says even if it was human-generated.

Oftentimes discussions get killed not because the source article is bad but because the discussions themselves devolve into flame bait/war?

me-south-1 is in fact, quite possibly permanently, "offline".

#20Despite the destruction, me-south-1 still has more nines than us-east-1
this datacenter appears to be 99.99 percent destroyed
