Good. This is what Amazon voted for when they backed #pedo #Trump.
Fuck them straight to hell.
@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 How unfortunate!!
@arstechnica How many months did they need to reach that conclusion??
@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
you hear that folks? Shahed-136s are not expensive. if AWS can be damaged beyond repair there, it can be done *anywhere * 😈
@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.
