The full RCA got posted

TLDR - a DNS update with a race condition furked DDB, which it turns out acts as the service discovery mechanism for basically every service in us-east-1. This borked NLB healthchecks, EC2 provisioning (because of no network connectivity), and Lambda and Fargate execution environments (because of no EC2 to host on)

I'm now hearing it could be up to 15% of the workforce. A day of reckoning my AWS friends are calling it.

Their  financial statement says otherwise.

 

but don’t let that stop your propaganda comrade

It seems to be mostly HR and "devices and services" (read: Alexa and Fire devices) employees - not much word of it hitting AWS that I've read/heard

Interesting. My AWS friends are sufficiently worried.

Man we're (Credit Union) looking to change our core in the next 30 months, and our preferred choice is really trying to make the price point for hosting it offsite enticing. Shit like this scares me compared to what we have with everything on-site now.

My CEO would rather get shot in the face than hand off negotiations to anyone. I've seen him do everything from capturing a bank robber with a shotgun in the parking lot to him refusing to pay $50 to a vendor because they delayed a delivery by a week 6 months ago.

AMZN posted their planned Washington layoffs to their WARN database

https://esd.wa.gov/employer-requirements/layoffs-and-employee-notifications/worker-adjustment-and-retraining-notification-warn-layoff-and-closure-database

looks like lots of hardware, game design, supply chain, and HR folks. I'm making an inference that most of the software engineer roles are within those hardware/games teams, but that feels accurate

huh Azure had an outage today caused by a bad DNS update that hit most of their M365 services and a few businesses pretty good. I wonder if Oracle or GCP will do one too just to be trendy
