I think what the AWS and Cloudflare outage tells is maybe don‘t build the entire internet to be dependent upon a handful of unaccountable companies.

Amazon AWS outage: Ian is smug as he doesn't rely on AWS.

Cloudflare outage: Ian, oh, bugger.

(yes, the ianvisits website is offline at the moment)

Cloudflare’s global outage is causing half the internet to go offline, impacting over 100 million website users.

AWS and Azure failed in October and Cloudflare failed today. That’s three critical infrastructure providers in 45 days.

Expect more infrastructure outages as AI increases server loads.

Crowdstrike, AWS, Cloudflare... When there's a web outage these days, it seems to bring down a multitude of websites. Why is that?
Why Today’s Internet Is So Fragile
For much of the world, there is no longer any such thing as being offline. The internet underpins the global financial and consumer ecosystem, enabling instant communication and transactions. While the system is integral to so much human activity, it’s also fragile, costing billions of dollars and creating huge inconvenience when part of it stops working.

Remember when the Internet could go for weeks or even months without a major outage? That was cool.

It's almost like we've unlearned how to do this right. In the past couple weeks: AWS, Azure, Cloudflare… git at GitHub is currently down.

cloudflare outage just a few weeks after an AWS outage is crazy

Cloudflare holding its own in the big leagues by having an outage just like AWS and Azure.

Oops that internet outage earlier this week might be because we were trying to turn on the lights for our Steam page launch today 😅! In all seriousness, our small team has hit a big milestone!

When we pointed towards the problem with online dependencies during the recent AWS and Xbox outages, people still claimed that these were oh so rare and not an issue. Today a Cloudflare outage killed half of the web for hours. [Enter Shrug Emoji]

the business side of the internet was down with the AWS outage and now the shady side of the internet is down with the cloudflare outage

either way dont love how these couple companies host a large majority of the internet and what that means if they ever go down and never return

I love AWS ads because I get to see all of the things that will stop working next time there’s an outage

After the recent AWS outage and now this, maybe we shouldn't have centralized the entire internet and made its existence dependent on such a small number of corporate monopolies?
NEW: Internet infrastructure giant Cloudflare blamed this morning's massive internet outage on a "latent bug."

This is another stark reminder that the internet depends on just a handful of companies. According to an estimate, Cloudflare is used by 20% of all websites on the internet.

An outage at internet infrastructure giant Cloudflare took down several big websites and services, including ChatGPT, Claude, Spotify, and X.

#HugOps and #DrinkOps for everyone dealing with the Cloudflare/AWS outage.
November 18, 2025 at 2:57 PM
It's amazing that #cloudflare is down, and therefore so is half the internet, but once it's back up and running nobody will make the argument that maybe 3 companies shouldn't manage the entire internet.

We learned nothing from the #AWS outage last month.

cloudflare outage this. aws outage that. can microsoft office go out so i don’t have to work thanks
November 18, 2025 at 1:54 PM
sites being walled off is somehow more frustrating than an aws outage where sites themselves are fully offline — instead the site is there, it's just blocked by an extremely annoying unresolvable error message from cloudflare.

the internet we've built is good and functional 🙃
November 18, 2025 at 1:38 PM
And the other half of the Internet goes down if AWS has an outage.
November 18, 2025 at 12:47 PM
i'm sure those engineers can easily be replaced with AI and there will be no consequences to this.

*starts 4 month AWS outage countdown timer*

And last time it was Amazon (with their AWS), company you for sure heard of =)

20% of worldweb traffic goes thru Cloudflare, so it is part of world's net infrastructure, any outage that affects whole world can be count as force majeure, afraid that it will be none compensation for anyone at all. 🖖

I was smug when the AWS outage made people's beds not work. But today I was reminded that I use a #cloudflare tunnel for Home Assistant when I couldn't open my garage door.

A month after the #AWS outage, a technical problem at #Cloudflare caused internet outages on websites such as Letterboxd, #Uber, #Spotify, X (Twitter), and #ChatGPT.

We had that Global Outage at Crowdstrike last year, AWS outage last month, and now Cloudflare outage, I would say the amount of outages of cloud databases is more frequent I feel like…
Is it just me or is the internet breaking a lot lately?
November 18, 2025 at 1:12 PM
by the way i slept through yesterday's cloudflare outage but i just remembered just now as i'm off to hit the hay. maybe that level of centralization is bad, actually, which i think i said when there was that recent AWS outage. also cloudflare sucks pretty specifically so
