AWS Regions: Choose Your Disaster Dragon

The truth hits harder than a 503 Service Unavailable error! This stick figure drawing perfectly captures how a shocking amount of the internet's infrastructure runs through a single AWS data center. When US-East-1 sneezes, half the web catches a cold. Remember that 2021 outage that took down Netflix, Disney+, and even Amazon's own ability to deploy fixes? Good times. It's like having your entire startup's fate depend on one overworked server rack in Virginia that's held together with zip ties and prayers.

When your severance package includes five minutes of unsupervised access to the data center... Revenge is a dish best served with unplugged cables. The perfect digital equivalent of taking your stapler when you leave. "You can't fire me, but I can fire your uptime!" Somewhere, a DevOps team is having the worst day of their lives while an ex-employee is having the best one of theirs.

BEHOLD! The entire digital universe balancing on the metaphorical toothpicks that are AWS, Cloudflare, and some random shark (probably representing underwater internet cables)! The internet—that magical place where you watch cat videos and pretend to work—is literally being held up by a skinny dog standing on soda cans. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE. When your boss asks why the website is down, just show them this picture and dramatically whisper, "The dog moved." The next time you experience an outage, remember it's because someone probably offered this good boy a treat. The most sophisticated technology of our time, ladies and gentlemen, brought to you by precarious canine equilibrium!
