| That is wrong in every way possible. Each service is isolated, has its own control plane, and often even split into multiple cells. Source: I worked there. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/reducing-... |

| You’ve missed the point by leaning into your pedantry. The point is that from the perspective of vendor/platform risk (things like account closure, billing disputes, etc), all of AWS is the same basket, even if you use multiple regions and services. |

| ▲ | PartiallyTyped 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I dismissed the claim that they share a single control panel across services because it is false. I dismissed that claim alone and talked about nothing else. The comment I replied to added nothing to the conversation except an unsubstantiated and plainly false remark. > Wild that people don't realize that these "separate" systems in AWS all share things like the same control plane. This comment does not say anything about all being in one basket. It only claims that all services run the same control plane which is so far from truth it must have been made from somebody utterly unaware of how big cloud teams operate. Seems that this community has lost the ability to reason and converse and would rather be outraged. |

| Do all these cells and control planes run different software built by different teams? I mean, sure every Ford Pinto is strictly it's own vehicle, but each will predictably burst into flames when you impinge its fuel tank and I don't wanna travel on a company operating an all Pinto fleet. |

| ▲ | PartiallyTyped 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Yes. And parts of each control plane are written by different teams and each component is isolated. |

| Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this is 100% correct from someone else who worked there. |

Alternatively (and in a more general sense), if you want to take a more active role in your learning, a good way to learn is to ask questions, and then read the answers. | | |
