That would probably just detonate the US economy.
it absolutely would tank the economy.. the number of businesses just running their shit from that one region is insane.. and practically none of them learned any lessons from previous outages. Turns out it isn't really all that cost-effective if you have to replicate shit across multiple regions once you hit a certain amount of data/traffic.
I know it would take our company down. I don't think they're even replicated across availability zones
It's also the master region for a lot of the control plane, so if it is down (which it was before) then most services kick the bucket.
AWS hosts a lot of AWS infrastructure on AWS lol
Wonder how much loan info is on only one server farm
these are probably stored on a mainframe somewhere running COBOL code
Amazon did that one themselves. 
2019: my ape is gone

What you're telling me the cloud is just someone else's computer and it's not immune to missiles... This is ridiculous
The farce of the commons
It's in the name "cloud" so it should be somehow immune to missiles.
Normally when a missile flies through the skin it passes harmlessly through the clouds. My data is safe!
tfw you're a trillion dollar company and you accidentally created a digital strait of hormuz for most western Internet services
uncritical support in the war against progressive web apps
Except hexbear's
all me-south-1 gone 
I've been offline for about 5 days. Can anyone give me a quick run down of what's happened since then?
Did Iran actually start bombing tech companies?
They attacked AWS data centers in the region very recently.
Good
Yes, they've hit a number of AWS and Oracle datacenters now
Glorious
I didn't watch the recent terminator anime but I assume the story was basically just how iran is stopping skynet with ballistic missiles
now its personnel!
