Good. This is what Amazon voted for when they backed #pedo #Trump.

Fuck them straight to hell.

@arstechnica Careful not to get the bald man angry, he may sic his gigantic roombas on ya, ahaha

@arstechnica

That's the only way to cope with data centers.

@arstechnica wait, so it's all just other people's computers after all?

@arstechnica Tisk, tisk. Such a pity

<dripping sarcasm>

@arstechnica silver lining…

@arstechnica
Don't store all your bytes in the same data center!

@arstechnica 3 2 1 backup rule ...

@arstechnica that is quite a creative way to wipe data 😆

@arstechnica well that's why you're supposed to have off-site backups and geo-redundancy...

Edit: It's not even that difficult. I've both for my own personal website...

@arstechnica How unfortunate!!

@arstechnica good news! Carry on Iran.

@arstechnica How many months did they need to reach that conclusion??

Every smart admin knows

• AWS is not a backup!

@AnachronistJohn@zia.io

@arstechnica Maybe they shouldnt've scraped the internet without permission for 'AI training', while also being tightass about people pirating their movies, music, and ebooks.

Absolute hypocrites.

No tears cried for Amazon here. Let them be required to compensate for their enterprise cloud customers lost data via the SLA agreement that they have.

@arstechnica oh cool can we do meta next

@arstechnica whatever happened to cloud computing lmao

@arstechnica Is this why I got a series of strange messages from AWS today complaining it couldn't bill me?

I figured it was your standard phish. Haven't touched them in years.

@arstechnica Dr evil would be having a fit if this attack was a result of blowback from a democratic admin but when it is his pedo daddy... silence and more boot licking.

@arstechnica Finally some cheerful news today!

“The damage to our infrastructure spanned multiple Availability Zones and exceeded what our regional and multi-AZ services are designed to withstand,”

Well, how 'bout that!

@arstechnica

@arstechnica chaos and war are bad for business! Unless you're the author of the chaos or getting paid for the war

@arstechnica

Clouds are a single point of failure, contrary to the marketing literature. Who knew? /s

@arstechnica

Who could have predicted somebody else’s computer is not a foolproof storage method.

you hear that folks? Shahed-136s are not expensive. if AWS can be damaged beyond repair there, it can be done *anywhere * 😈

@arstechnica absolutely wild that anything important companies had there wasn't replicated into other regions or with cold storage backups elsewhere.

@arstechnica So Amazon is not only skimping on its employees but also on its customers.

@arstechnica
I think this is false. You are supposed to anticipate and store your assets in different regions.
It is the customer's fault 🤔

@arstechnica

Gee and I thought off-site backups were standard.

@arstechnica Amazon is actively supporting Trump's war, they made themselves a valid military target and didn't bother to prepare for the consequences.

It sucks to be the affected customers but this was foreseeable.
