AWS goes down again. Is it time to re-assess risk in the cloud and AI-era, where so much of the digital assistance we get is housed someplace we can’t see and controlled by someone we don’t know?
David Meier, Tom King, and Tim Beyers:
– Discuss the failures that led to the AWS outage this morning and which companies are services were impacted as a result.
– Debate whether companies have become too dependent on AWS and its peers, especially when virtually all the in-demand AI services we’re banking on are hosted in these clouds.
– Play another game of Faker or Breaker with three companies impacted by the AWS outage.
