They address that in the post, and between Twitter, HN and other places there wasn’t anyone legit questioning if something was actually broken. Contacts at AWS also all were very clear that yes something was going on and being investigated. This narrative that AWS was pretending nothing was wrong just wasn’t true based on what we saw.

I'm going to leave it at this: the dashboards at AWS aren't automated.

Say what you will, but I can automate a status dashboard in a couple days--yes, even at AWS scale.

No reason the dashboard should be green for hours while their engineers and support are aware things aren't working.

Uh, no. You can’t. If you could, then you would already have been hired and you would have already solved this problem.

What you can do at what you think is AWS scale has no bearing on what you could actually do at real AWS scale.

Right I guess I would be hired without acknowledging my recruiter or applying I guess that makes sense
