I agree.. it's the message that there is another 'point of failure' that no one has paid much attention to.

If you want Amazon/AWS to change it's ways, then you need to get the attention of CIO's.

And I think regular walkouts of 100 engineers who monitor the network is going to do a better job of getting it than a single architect leaving, no matter how much of a star he was.
