Storage-Zilla and the S3 Post Mortem

So it turns out the S3 outage was related to a failure in authentication services. One of many things you don't have to worry about if you have your own storage. My advice is to get powerful automation storage tools in house.

Zilla-man deserves the James Joyce award for his post yesterday. Great writing Zilla-man!

As much as I like Nick Carr's writing, he has this one wrong. His writing on this reminds me of the many business plans I've seen from networking people who tried unsuccessfully to enter the storage business thinking that it would be easy. ("All those storage curmudgeons are paleolithic throwbacks"). Nope. Its a different game in storage land. There are many, many impact craters of entrepreneurs that never understood storage psych101.

Here is the link to the play by play on Amazon's Web Services site.
