When one cloud falls, the world gets wet.
The AWS outage yesterday was more than a glitch — it was a glimpse. A single company had a hiccup, and half the internet held its breath.
Cloud computing was sold as “resilience.” What we saw was dependency — thousands of systems tied to the same nerve center, waiting for Amazon to wake up.
This is the hidden cost of convenience: when you outsource your infrastructure, you outsource your sovereignty. Centralization always ends in fragility.
If one failure can silence a global chorus of apps, maybe it’s time to rethink who holds the switch — and whether we should all be plugged into the same socket.
Decentralization isn’t ideology. It’s risk management for a world where even the sky can crash.
