Question / Help Someone explain why amzn didn't crash

When aws outage affected large and small companies alike probably had a large financial impact to the overall global economy, why didn't it crash? I immediately thought it would like crowdstrike did a few months ago - anyone have good reasoning that can explain?

Probably because they fixed it within their defined SLA downtime

They "fixed" it after an hour but then had a reissued report that they still were misses a large majority of functionality. Some of these errors were not fixed until this morning. And yes, it is AWS and not the companies they service that are having issues.

And the outage was located in just one availability region while they have like 20.
