Amazon Web Services Knocked Offline by Storms - NYTimes.com: "Netflix and Pinterest, which were both completely offline for most of the evening, also took to Twitter to tell users the status of the failure. Foursquare was partly affected and updated its own status blog to tell customers.
Most of these public-facing sites were back online by Saturday morning, although some services seemed spotty.
As a number of services, and customers, have come to rely on Amazon for storage, these shutdowns leave companies and analysts questioning the viability of cloud-based storage for businesses — specifically when many companies don’t have a fallback option as a backup.
Amazon has suffered repeated failures in recent months. The company was offline from a major shutdown in June. In April areas of the company’s storage facility went down for several days."
