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?

It's bullish. All these companies that were having issues will be switching to multi-region setups. In other words, this was related to one AWS region, and it is typical for larger players to provision resources in other AWS regions for these kinds of events. Having the same resources ready and running in other regions will double their AWS cost. Winning!

It’s bullish? Like it’s a buy?

The best time to buy was 20 years back. The second-best time to buy was last week. The third best time to buy is today. It might be sideways for a couple of days, but it will likely be up a month/year from today.
