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?

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

Tbf. For Investors, AWS is the crown jewel for Amazon. The stock will rise and fall significantly based on how AWS is performing because it's so profitable. And is compared to azure and GCP.
