The AWS Morning show you never knew you wanted

Join Pete and Jesse for a lively discussion about the recent AWS Kinesis outage. They touch upon why you should never throw shade at someone else’s outage, how there might not even be a single person at AWS who understands how every AWS service works together, what the downstream effects were when Kinesis was knocked offline, how AWS outages are a good reminder of how we’re all human and no one is immune to these kinds of things, why you shouldn’t decide to move away from AWS because of an outage, why multi-cloud strategies need to be proactive and not reactive, how it’s great how AWS released an in-depth blog post about the outage, and more.
