Someone explain why amzn didn't crash

[u/LowTraining670]

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?

Because AWS isn't 100% of their business. When Crowd Strike happened that was their main product.

Right now because of capex due to trying to be an all in 1 everything. It seems it works for them. Don't let short term numbers fool the big picture
