I only found out in the news. I am not much of a cloud user anyway. The only thing that could have bothered me was the accompanying Signal outage, but I just didn't receive any messages during that time.

I'm not defending Amazon or AWS, but those of us in the USA who shop online at Amazon depend on AWS to function properly. The responsible installation for the Monday failure is located in Northern Virginia and is not the first time it fails.
