It’s fascinating to me people think their services are so important they can’t survive any downtime. Can we all admit that, while annoying, nothing really bad happened even when us-east-1 was down for almost half a working day?

If you’re providing auth services to many companies then a failure will increase the likelihood of something bad to an unacceptable degree.
