Frustrating that this is a common occurrence. Not a good look for Apple or AWS.

Never once claimed anything about 100% perfection but apple's software (and services) seems to have issues every other week. We get it, you like apple, but you can call a spade a spade. You want to harp on the "it just works" better live up to it.
MS has issues by the hour, Apple does fairly well in the outage space.
