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...

@rasterweb similar experience last year when the SaaS provider for Dealership software was down due to hacking.
@ericsedge now that you mention it, I can barely do my job without internet access. Not AWS, per se, but most of our documentation is cloud-based now (apparently it's NS1) @rasterweb
