AWS And Azure Failures Raise Questions About Cloud Reliability
I recently wrote about the widespread AWS outage. Little did I realize that only a few days later, the world would witness another cloud provider going down. This time, it was Microsoft Azure. What happened in late October was not just another technical glitch. It was a second wake-up call in a matter of days, and it affected millions of people across the world.
On October 29th, Microsoft Azure, one of the largest cloud platforms in the world, went down. This caused widespread digital shutdowns. Students could not sign into Teams. Travelers on Alaska Airlines could not check into their flights. Gamers opening Xbox or Minecraft were met with connection failures. Even everyday routines like placing a Starbucks mobile order or checking a Costco membership were disrupted.
AWS is down, leaving millions of users of Fortnite, Xbox, and other platforms without access
The global AWS outage affects popular services such as Epic Games, PlayStation Network Xbox Live, and Alexa, leaving millions of people around the world without connection.
Update: According to information received directly from the AWS Global Communications team, the report prior to the AWS outage resulted in “some inaccurate speculation on social media” that coincided with outages in several gaming services. AWS Global recommends checking the AWS Health Dashboard as “the only resource on the internet that provides accurate data on the availability of our services.” We apologize for any issues this may have caused.

Amazon Route 53 launches Accelerated recovery for managing public DNS records
Today, we’re announcing Amazon Route 53 Accelerated recovery for managing public DNS records, a new Domain Name Service (DNS) business continuity feature that is designed to provide a 60-minute recovery time objective (RTO) during service disruptions in the US East (N. Virginia) AWS Region. This enhancement ensures that customers can continue making DNS changes and provisioning infrastructure even during regional outages, providing greater predictability and resilience for mission-critical applications.
Customers running applications that require business continuity have told us they need additional DNS resilience capabilities to meet their business continuity requirements and regulatory compliance obligations. While AWS maintains exceptional availability across our global infrastructure, organizations in regulated industries like banking, FinTech, and SaaS want the confidence that they will be able to make DNS changes even during unexpected regional disruptions, allowing them to quickly provision standby cloud resources or redirect traffic when needed.
