[HN Gopher] Ask HN: Where is the AWS outage post-mortem? ___________________________________________________________________ Ask HN: Where is the AWS outage post-mortem? I've been checking in on this page [0] frequently since the recent us-east-1 outage. The outage was significant and had many unexpected knock-on effects for us - despite most of our instances being in a totally separate region - so just wondering what happened. Any idea how long these post-mortems typically take to be published? Thanks.
