Listen "When One AZ Sneezes and the Internet Catches Pneumonia - (Episode 144)"
Episode Synopsis
Evidently, chewing gum, IAM policies, and blind optimism bind the world's most enormous cloud together. One sneeze in a single AWS AZ and half the planet suddenly remembers they never actually tested their DR plan—unless “panic refreshing the status page” counts as testing. A DevOps team is furiously marking "multi-AZ" in yellow, treating it as a novel innovation, while another CTO mutters, "But the slide deck stated we had high availability." Meanwhile, microservices that were supposed to be “resilient” instantly curled up like Victorian children catching a light breeze. So buckle up—we’re diagnosing yet another case of architectural pneumonia, caused by an unhealthy dependency on hope-driven engineering and the eternal belief that “it’ll probably be fine.”
