shrug-l: The day ArcGIS Online was unavailable

[Butgereit, Richard]

So - who all is affected by this?

Amazon's web hosting services are among the most widely used out there, which means that when Amazon's servers goes down, a lot of things go down with them. That appears to be happening today, with Amazon reporting "high error rates" in one region of its S3 web services, and a number of services going offline because of it..."

ArcGIS.com, ArcGIS Organization sites, and Open Data sites all appear down to us.

What important business functions have you placed "in the cloud" for which you are suffering through right now?

By the way - this is mainly meant as a rhetorical question. Depending upon how long the outage lasts, might be interesting topics for GIS conferences and workshops coming up later this year?

Thanks,
Richard Butgereit, GISP
