I am looking first hand reports on the impact of the attacks on AWS in ME-CENTRAL-1 and ME-SOUTH-1.

Those have taken hits in one (south) and two (CENTRAL) AZs.

My observation is that there are more AWS services disrupted and degraded than I expected. But my view is based on AWS on reporting: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

But I would also like to hear about experiences of moving services to another AZ during those incidents.

Background: The cloud transition has made a strategic target out of enterprise IT. I want to learn for my customers, how such incidents play out for cloud-centric enterprises in practice. I expect cloud DCs to be target also elsewhere in the world as part of the hybrid warfare.

@masek I’ve seen both @snipe and @benschwarz post about this. Maybe they are up for a chat?

@janl @masek @snipe In my case, we aren't going to move services, as they're for synthetic testing agents in that region. Moving them doesn't actually make sense. If they go offline, we'll have to stop servicing there.

I'm more dismayed by the state of the world. What a fucking shit show.
