EP 768- The Day the Cloud Fell: Lessons from the AWS Outage
About this episode
When Amazon Web Services went down, so did the digital world — from Disney+ and Reddit to airlines and even McDonald’s. In this episode of Safety FM with Jay Allen, we dig into what really happened during the three-hour AWS outage, how a single point of failure brought global systems to a halt, and what it teaches us about redundancy, resilience, and risk in your own organization.
This show is brought to you by Safety FM — where we talk about the things that matter, even when the servers crash.
