Looks like a lot of services are impacted including Cloudflare, Ping, Zoom and Datadog.

Not sure why we're on that list. We run our own infrastructure and are not built on AWS.

Looks like Snap, Crackle and Pop are down as well.

I don't work on cloud stuff, so I'm genuinely unsure if this is a joke.

It's a joke but I only knew that because Snap is/was (as of S1) hosted on GCP and not AWS. Crackle happens to be the name of a video on demand company.

It's a reference to the breakfast cereal of the same name.

Pop is also a screen sharing/pairing tool, so the joke was great.

Pedantic clarification for the unfamiliar: the breakfast cereal is named Rice Krispies while Snap, Crackle, and Pop are the names of the cartoon mascots on the box.

Hah, frequency illusion strikes again? I just learned about the derivatives past Jerk yesterday.

Cloudflare uses AWS? For what?
