You probably noticed that many sites and apps were having serious problems yesterday due to an Amazon AWS outage.Some sites/apps were completely down, and others had partial or reduced functionality. In the Drupal maintenance support plans world, Pantheon was affected: sites didn’t go down (huzzah for Pantheon!), but everything was in read-only mode for several hours, so users couldn’t upload files to their sites and many dashboard functions didn’t work.Already, many are talking about how this outage is proof that the public cloud is a bad idea. Or, that Amazon messed up big time and maybe we should look at other cloud providers.However, I’m going to argue that it wasn’t Amazon’s fault that this outage took down so many sites and apps.And by extension, this isn’t proof that the cloud is a bad idea, or that we should look to providers other than Amazon. The cloud is great, and so is Amazon AWS.I’m going to argue that it’s OUR fault — the web developers who make all these great apps and sites — that this outage broke the internet.Please read more to find out why!
