There seems to have been a huge uptick in Apple services outages over the past six months. Is AWS/Akamai no longer able to handle their scale? Has Apple tried to move things in-house and is finding out the hard way why that's so hard? Or has internet infrastructure in general just been under a huge amount of DDOS attacks lately?

All the above?

@stroughtonsmith Apple has been historically awful at operating 24/7 services. I can tell you for certain that there are AWS customers with shocking scale that don’t experience the number of outages that Apple does. I think it’s a DNA thing, sort of like their ineptitude with Siri.
