    I decided to look at right leaning site and they are blaming the outage on the Chinese. I’m just flabbergasted that they are still using the rhetoric that the Chinese government is trying to dismantle our democracy… They have serious blinders on thinking America needs help to fall into a fascist dictatorship. If the media is pointing to foreign enemies the real enemy is sitting in the white house Mar-a-Logo.

      not sure, it looks like its a different system that manages the DNS for DynamoDB. it got out of sync and deleted all the DynamoDB DNS records, that then broke all the internal AWS stuff
