Amazon EC2 or Elastic Compute Cloud is an important part of Amazon Web Services. It's the central part of Amazon.com's cloud computing platform. Recent report, Amazon's EC2 data centre in Virginia crashed on the early morning of April 21 (Pacific Day Time). The crash is making down several popular websites.
The websites that affected include favoured social networking destinations like Evite, Quora, Reddit and Foursquare, among others. Besides that, online businesses affected by the EC2 outage lost that many hours of ad revenues, business opportunities and drops of the precious trust of many loyal followers. The losses are hard to quantify.
Amazon EC2 holds incredibly valuable data of Amazon's cloud client companies. And yet, Amazon's Virginia centre is, according to sources, remarkably open and vulnerable, located in an ordinary industrial building near Dulles Airport.
"If Amazon can explain the problem and make a good case for why the damage may not be big, then it will be fine," says Grier. "If not, the work will go elsewhere," said computer scientist David Alan Grier of the eminent Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE )) Society and author of When Computers were Human and Too Soon.
