That's such a drag to hear. I was under the false impression that an S3 failure was unlikely...how does this impact the business decision of utilizing AWS as a primary (or not exclusively backup) solution? - Bryan Landers

It is LESS likely to fail still able to. Looks like we need a cloud service you can easily swap to when this happens. Like how datacenters swap network and power during outages. - sean percival

Hmm...bummer...sounds expensive. A cloud of clouds would work...go Google go! - Bryan Landers
