It seems that all the sites that ask for distributed systems in their interview and has their website down wouldn't even pass their own interview.
This is why distributed systems is an extremely important discipline.

#112>Oct 20 12:51 AM PDT We can confirm increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS Services in the US-EAST-1 Region. This issue may also be affecting Case Creation through the AWS Support Center or the Support API. We are actively engaged and working to both mitigate the issue and understand root cause. We will provide an update in 45 minutes, or sooner if we have additional information to share.
Weird that case creation uses the same region as the case you'd like to create for.

#114I can't log in to my AWS account, in Germany, on top of that it is not possible to order anything or change payment options from amazon.de. No landing page explaining services are down, just scary error pages. I thought account was compromised. Thanks HN for, as always, being the first to clarify what's happening. Scary to see that in order to order from Amazon Germany, us-east1 must be up. Everything else works flaw…
I wanted to log into my Audible account after a long time on my phone, I couldn't, started getting annoyed, maybe my password is not saved correctly, maybe my account was banned, ... Then checking desktop, still errors, checking my Amazon.de, no profile info... That's when I started suspecting that it's not me, it's you, Amazon! Anyway, I guess, I'll listen to my book in a couple of hours, hopefully.
Btw, most parts of the amazon.de is working fine, but I can't load profiles, and can't login.

#117Is there any data on which AWS regions are most reliable? I feel like every time I hear about an AWS outage it's in us-east-1.
Trouble is one can't fully escape us-east-1. Many services are centralized there like: S3, Organizations, Route53, Cloudfront, etc. It is THE main region, hence suffering the most outages, and more importantly, the most troubling outages.

Maybe actually making the interviews less of a hazing ritual would help.
Hell, maybe making today's tech workplace more about getting work done instead of the series of ritualistic performances that the average tech workday has degenerated to might help too.
Ergo, your conclusion doesn't follow from your initial statements, because interviews and workplaces are both far more broken than most people, even people in the tech industry, would think.

#119They are amazing at LeetCode though.
Let's be nice. I'm sure devs and ops are on fire right now, trying to fix the problems. Given the audience of HN, most of us could have been (have already been?) in that position.
