I took my daughter to buy a car today. The dealership could not run credit report due to AWS outage. She called the bank, they could not approve a large transaction because of the AWS outage. We went to the DMV, they were able to get her a replacement car title, but also mentioned some systems were down. Back to the dealership where they could not do the credit application to buy the car.

In a completely unrelated note, I think I have some ideas for disrupting Capitalism...

The modern internet goes down if AWS sneezes

@bruvduroiu @rasterweb Well Putin knows where to aim now. Cloud dependency is a national security threat.

I am surprised the dealer could not just call in for approval. One things I'd expect them to have backups for is getting credit approved. That is their profit center.
