The internet just had another major global outage. Why does this keep happening?

Funny, a telephone book is a good analogy--but some would need that explained.

> DNS is like an internet location engine, converting user-friendly web addresses like amazon.com into IP addresses - a series of numbers that other websites and applications can understand.

All eggs in one basket. The same basket. Because of groupthink.

Throw in penny pinching and cost cutting and you run on the edge. Nobody gets a bonus for spending money on backup systems. Nobody gets fired for buying ibm.

Part of this is also naïveté of people spinning up systems in AWS us-east-1. Any SRE or operator will tell you to never spin up systems in there unless you have a requirement to do so. It’s long been a tribal knowledge of the instability. This outage is more widespread than others but I see region level outages, at least partial ones, happen there every 1-2 years on average

Our file deliveries to from s3 failed because despite being eu-west-1/2 authentication relied on us-east-1

From what understand that’s a feature you can’t opt out of.

AWS is a single on if failure. The same point used globally by an industry that can’t imagine any other way.

Diversity is defence. Monoculture is a strategic weakness.
