You’d be hard pressed to find an online service that isn’t associated with AWS in some way.
Sadly, there are some who don’t even know it, because they’re buying services from someone else that buys them from someone else that buys them from Amazon. So they’re currently wondering what the fuck is even going on, since they thought they weren’t using AWS.
I brought down all my department’s services to take a day off and blame it on Amazon. Next year when negotiating a raise/budget increase, I’ll point to this incident and take credit for migrating us off AWS after six months of in-person training classes (either in places I haven’t visited or would like to see again) and another six months of hard work in the office (napping in the server room).
2026 is looking pretty good already and I definitely won’t regret tempting fate by saying that.
Legendary.
