I brought down all my department’s services to take a day off and blame it on Amazon. Next year when negotiating a raise/budget increase, I’ll point to this incident and take credit for migrating us off AWS after six months of in-person training classes (either in places I haven’t visited or would like to see again) and another six months of hard work in the office (napping in the server room).
2026 is looking pretty good already and I definitely won’t regret tempting fate by saying that.
It’s sad that none of these people you deal with don’t know what service they use or vendors they deal with? That sounds fantastic for you, scary for everyone else.
