It seems like AWS and Google have had more outages than normal recently. I guess this is to do with COVID disruptions? (remote working and such).


This morning I’d bet more on a rushed log4j patch. They use it heavily.


It's kind of terrible that a logging library can lead to such downtime.


When you need to force update all of prod asap. Yes it is terrible. The fact log4j even does remote network calls is crazy


why would remote workers matter? AWS is basically all remote.


Because change can be disruptive.
