Earlier quoted context omitted.

I work at AWS. I can tell you surely enough it's not pretty or easy to work with. Design and architecture are great here but implementation of that is pretty crap...

Why use it then? (api is crap, uptime is crap, limits are crap... politics?)

Money. Lack of alternatives.

Cheaper than GCP. Still less crappy than Azure.

This is also affecting Fargate (at least EKS) in that its scheduling system is broken. No way to get new pods.

Same story in ECS. Seems like virtually anything Fargate can't spawn new instances.

Every time I check the Personal Health Dashboard, the number of issues increases; it's currently showing 13 open issues for my account. Cloudwatch logs for the last few hours are unavailable; it appears that the log agent is getting errors when it attempts to upload log events. Metrics are spotty or missing.

Fargate console is reporting no capacity in us-east-1 which is a bummer because I've lost several services that got spun down apparently due to missing cloudwatch data. But EC2 appears to be working though its taking noticeably longer to create resources. I think the take-away for a lot of people is that multiple availability zones is not a substitute for proper BCP that encompasses multiple regions or cloud providers.

what a scam. who can hold them accountable for cheating those who paid for uptime guarantees? I guess the lawyers of those who paid for uptime guarantees...

Never trust that. Deploy in multiple regions (and AZs within those regions) if you really cannot tolerate any downtime.

I think we are learning everything that uses AWS Kinesis internally which is cool. It’s always fascinating to learn how AWS works on the backend.

Thats too bad, I always imagined the backend was as magical as what AWS users see. I still wish I could have a peek at how S3 works or IAM. Not enough to get a job at AWS - I know they'd fire me the first time I left early for a parent teacher conference or took a sick day, so why put myself in that position.
