Amazon says underlying problems fixed, now the blame game beginspublished at 19:23 BST 20 October<\/p>\n

Amazon Web Services says the underlying problems that caused
\ntoday\u2019s outage are fixed. Now the blame game has begun. <\/p>\n

One computer science expert says some of the responsibility
\nrests with the companies who use AWS.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies using Amazon haven\u2019t been taking enough adequate
\ncare to build protection systems into their applications,\u201d says Ken Birman, a
\ncomputer science professor at Cornell University in New York. <\/p>\n

Outages like the one on Monday occur all the time, although
\nnot always at this scale. <\/p>\n

Birman tells the BBC that app developers should take care to
\ninvest in backing up mission-critical applications that live in the cloud.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how to make these systems stronger, and we know how
\nto do it securely,\u201d Birman says.<\/p>\n

The question of responsibility could well land in the
\ncourts. <\/p>\n

More than a year after the massive CrowdStrike outage, Delta
\nAirlines is still wrangling with the company to recover more than $500m in
\nlosses.<\/p>\n

Even after CrowdStrike had fixed the issue, the airline said
\nit had to manually reset 40,000 servers, leading to major flight delays over
\nseveral days.<\/p>\n

Given how integrated these systems are, determining fault
\nisn’t always straightforward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon says underlying problems fixed, now the blame game beginspublished at 19:23 BST 20 October 19:23 BST 20…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229249,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[49,48,190,61],"class_list":["post-229248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
