+ - Generator Failures Caused Amazon Cloud Outage->

Submitted by 1sockchuck
1sockchuck writes "Last week's major outage for Amazon's cloud computing service was triggered by multiple generator failures at a single facility in the eastern US, the company said. The downtime knocked many sites offline, despite the fact that only 7 percent of instances in a single Amazon availability zone were affected. The impact of the power problems were magnified by a bug in Amazon's load balancing system, which prevented some customers from shifting workloads to other availability zones and regions. The company apologizes and outlines its plans to address the issues in a lengthy incident report."
