Eeehh, you’re literally suggesting that AWS added to the general stability and dependability of the internet in general
You have NO idea what you’re talking about
The internet was designed to survive nuclear war, talking about being dependable) and the entire idea was (and should continue to be) that you don’t rely on a single point of failure. Traffic should automatically route around dead nodes so that everything continues to flow. Decentralisation is key.
But of course with companies being companies and corporate doing what corporate does best (enshittify everything so that we make more monies) everything got centralized.
The centralization is an issue, but AWS is stable as hell. When I was first in IT, tech support, I had to explain to customers daily that, “No, your internet is fine, it’s just that particular website that’s down.”
And the centralization wouldn’t be a thing if AWS didn’t route all IAM services through us-east-1. My Lightsail in us-west-1 was fine yesterday.
