I'm curious if the root cause of this is software failure or external attack. Aws is clearly at the point in size and competence that hardware failures are unlikely as root cause.

The opposite might also be true: Amazon might now have reached a point in size where they can't scale further upwards without losing visibility and control of part of their hardware.

It's all speculation anyway.


But aren't big, complex systems more likely to fail in unexpected ways?
