I hear you. I didn’t use EBS for five years after the great outage in, what was it, 2011?

At this point, it’s reliable enough that even if it were to go down, it’s more safe than not using it. I’d put EBS in the pantheon of “core” services I never mind using these days.




Yup, 2011. That's the one. One of those US presidential campaigns stayed up throughout because of EBS-phobia.

Geez. We have decades-old cloud war stories now? I suddenly feel really old.
