What was extra annoying about was even though the applications I work on are already multi-region; we still had a couple of transitive dependencies on us-east-1
that held things up a bit. And of course, their status page never said anything about the outage.
Nothing quite like seeing “we need to track the outage for the affected service, but the tool we’re using to track things is also out” on Slack at work.
awesome timing too. End of sprint, big release. thanks AWS…
Yeah - this was a tad annoying at work today. Thank god for terraform if outages had become more severe
