Amazon S3 Crash

Early this morning when Jungle Disk started throwing errors, I knew something wasn’t right, it wasnt till around 10:30 things were back to normal.

The 21st century location scout (me) relies heavily on digital and online resources for creating, organizing, presenting, backing up and archiving.

I use Jungle Disk as an interface to Amazon S3 (Simple Storage System). Amazon S3 is amazingly affordable and scalable.

Well, today S3 crashed for a couple of hours. I just use it for backups so it was not a mission critical event for me but many high tech businesses rely on the S3 service on the fly, so the outage was an unacceptable situation for them.
