AWS seems to have a helluva lot of failure points too. I'm not an IT expert, but I'm pretty sure this is far from the first time this has happened, correct?
They had a big us-east-1 S3 outage back in ~2018 (docker hub went down then too), and another us-east-1 DynamoDB outage ~3 years ago..
On the whole, they do an amazing job. But when they have a big issue, it will be something tricky and painful ... they tackled the low hanging fruit years ago.
