this is bad and just last week I was told Amazon S3 never goes down. - Wayne Sutton

Akamai, Limelight, EdgeCast and the other CDNs really couldn't ask for better advertising, could they? I wonder if they'll finally roll out low-end offerings in the S3-style space? - Ken Sheppardson

My thoughts exactly Ken. Someone in another thread was saying this was good for Amazon, because it shows how "needed" they are. I see it quite the opposite. - Anthony Citrano

I am surprised that S3 is vulnerable to such outages... odd. SPF (single point of failure) is something I'd expect Amazon to plan / scale for so that their infrastructure was not subject to such incidents... poor management? what's up? - Susan Beebe
