Amazon just experienced its second major outage in two weeks … is everything okay over there?
· Dec 15, 2021 · NottheBee.com

Seriously, does Amazon have like a designated emergency contact that can go over to headquarters and make sure everyone is still breathing?

Amazon's Web Services experienced an outage Wednesday causing connection issues all over the country, just over a week after another Amazon outage disrupted major streaming platforms and other websites.

Downdetector.com, a website that tracks internet issues based on consumer complaints, showed issues with a wide range of websites including Hulu, DoorDash, Slack and Facebook...

Even though the outage was in only two of Amazon's 26 geographic regions, the internet is not geographically localized so the entire country was affected, said Kristin Brown, an Amazon spokesperson.

Yeah two massive outages in one week? We have a way of describing this:

Seriously... last week a ton of websites were down and people's houses were ceasing to function. This week it's a fresh round of outages at major U.S. sites.

What happens with the next outage? That's a legit question, not even joking.
