       Ask HN: Where is the AWS outage post-mortem?
        
       I've been checking in on this page [0] frequently since the recent
       us-east-1 outage.  The outage was significant and had many
       unexpected knock-on effects for us - despite most of our instances
       being in a totally separate region - so just wondering what
       happened.  Any idea how long these post-mortems typically take to
       be published?  Thanks.  [0]

       | If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't expect one, and if one ever

       | it's likely missing critical information and/or some portion is
       | likely fictitious to some degree. I mean, this is a company that

       | don't expect any degree of honesty or accountability here.
