Apparently AWS is having a bit of a tantrum, will probably be back up shortly.

bit late now but more likely to have been GCP (Google Cloud) than AWS… Last time there was a GCP outage it affected [spotify and discord](https://9to5google.com/2021/11/16/google-cloud-outages-take-down-snapchat-discord-spotify-and-more/)

Discord have migrated away from the cloud and are now using bare metal, but are likely still using GCP’s load balancing and Spotify are known for being single cloud and [locked into GCP](https://cloud.google.com/customers/featured/spotify)  
According to [this](https://www.zdnet.com/article/twitter-to-move-cold-storage-hadoop-clusters-to-google-cloud-platform/) twitter also apparently use GCP for cold storage.

could be wrong though.

Just as I sent that GCP Status page got updated to show issues with Load Balancers

EDIT: Incident Page (now resolved) [Google Cloud Status Dashboard](https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/LuGcJVjNTeC5Sb9pSJ9o)

I stand corrected, was wondering why Amazon wasn’t dead if AWS was.

Wonder what caused this.
