Not when that provider is AWS and the outage is hitting news websites. You share the link to AWS being down and go back to sleep. | ||

News is one thing, if the app/service down impacts revenue, safety or security you won't be getting any sleep AWS or not. | ||

No. You sit on the call and wait to restore your service to your users. There’s bullshit toil in disabling scale in as the outage gets longer. Eventually, AWS has a VP of something dial in to your call to apologize. They’re unprepared and offer no new information. The get handed to a side call for executive bullshit. AWS comes back. Your support rep only vaguely knows what’s going on. Your system serves some errors but digs out. Then you go to sleep. | ||
