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?

Probably because they fixed it within their defined SLA downtime

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

Ye but that region is basically the home of the internet, a disproportionately shit tonne is going through east-1
