7월 2월 News Brief 정말 무서운건.. 인간이 스스로 할수 있는게 점점 없다는것.

 

 지난주 금요일 부터 토요일까지 아마존 웹서비스가 태풍 때문으로 인한 정전으로

서비스를 못했다. .이로인해 아마존 DB를 사용하는 수많은 회사 또한 서비스를 못했다.

 

인간이 아무리 시스템을 잘만들고 뭘 어쩌구 해도.. 자연의 힘 앞에서는 ..

그리고 그 경우의 수가 몇년에 한번이라도 한번 터지면... 아주 잔혹한 참사가 일어난다.

 

지진이나 해일과 같은 경우와 이런경우는 다르지 않나 싶다. 인간이 만들어 놓은 서비스

기술, 인프라에 너무 지나치게 의존하다가  속절없이 무너저 버리는..

 

이미 인간은 기계에 너무 종속적이지 않나 싶다. 나약한 육체는 둘째 치고

창의력없는 지식, 소통하지 않는 개인주의....  차가운 외로움...

 

페이스북 팔로우 만명이면 뭐하나.. 그 사람 자살하는거 막아주는 사람 없고.

트위터러 리트윗 수백만번 되면 뭐하나.. 악플 한번으로 끝장나고..

 

네비게이션을 달고 다니고  기계에 의존하면 정말 빠른길 갈까?

그 네비게이션에서 정말 정확하게 언제나? 어쩌다 한번 에러난다면?

당신은 어디도 못갈지도 모른다...

 

가끔은 네비게이션 끄고.. 친구를 도로에서 만나라... 핸드폰 밧데리 빼고서 말이다.

친구를 만나는건지 핸드폰 끼리 미팅시키는건지...

 

 

People who tried to watch Netflix on Friday evening saw nothing but red. Instagram users couldn’t upload or view photos. And a number of other Web sites and services were knocked offline. Storms had disrupted Amazon Web Services, which stores vast amounts of data for companies worldwide.

The problems first began around 11 p.m., when a roiling storm caused numerous electrical failures on the East Coast that left two million people without power and at least six people dead.

Late Friday, on the company’s status blog, Amazon said it was “investigating elevated error rates impacting a limited number” of customers. The company noted that the failure had happened at a server facility in Virginia and it was because of the lighting storm in the area.

While Amazon continued to update its status blog, information on the troubles remained relatively sparse throughout the evening.

As of Saturday morning, the company said it had managed to get some services back online, but was still working to resolve a number of remaining shutdowns. ”We are continuing our recovery efforts for the remaining EC2 instances,” the company wrote at 11:38 a.m. on the status blog. EC2 is the name of the server system used for storage.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for details about the problems and when it expected all the servers would be back to normal.

Many of the companies that use Amazon Web Services were left waiting for updates, too, passing along snippets of information to their customers.

Instagram, the photo-sharing service, said on Twitter, “Due to severe electrical storms, our host had a power outage, no data is lost – we’ve been working through the night to restore service.” Instagram users reshared the message more than 31,000 times.

Netflix and Pinterest, which were both completely offline for most of the evening, also took to Twitter to tell users the status of the failure. Foursquare was partly affected and updated its own status blog to tell customers.

Most of these public-facing sites were back online by Saturday morning, although some services seemed spotty.

As a number of services, and customers, have come to rely on Amazon for storage, these shutdowns leave companies and analysts questioning the viability of cloud-based storage for businesses — specifically when many companies don’t have a fallback option as a backup.

Amazon has suffered repeated failures in recent months. The company was offline from a major shutdown in June. In April areas of the company’s storage facility went down for several days.
