AngelsWin.com Outage

[Chuck]

Early this morning, launch configurations that have been in place for some time started failing. An internal utility at AWS that has been in place for years was no longer operating. A work around has been put in place and we are investigating with our AWS account representative as to the root cause of this failure. They do not yet know at this time.

Our sincerest apologies for this downtime event. We have monitoring, automatic scaling, and various systems in place to prevent just such an issue. However, with such a low level piece of the AWS systems failing without warning, we were unable to quickly recover.

At this time we have no further information but can promise we will work with AWS to determine root cause.

Shit. Happens.

Now there’s going to be a baby boom amongst AW posters in about 9 months

Ohtani destroyed Angelswin by striking out Trout.

It's clear what happened. We were invaded by Japan. AW's Pearl Harbor moment.

How dare you temporarily disrupt my morning reading

Internal utility at AWS.

An outage??  More like an outrage.  How are we supposed to discuss Trout failures in clutch time?
 

[Mark68]

Did they forget to unplug and plug their servers back in? Or re-cycle their servers? How about deleting cache & cookies? Damn, don't they know how to do what literally every IT CSR asks every time there is a technical issue?

Chuck, next time this happens just take the cartridge out and blow in it.

Sadly all of this was out of my control which was the most frustrating part of it. I couldn't really communicate the outage to anyone or give any timelines since the server is hosted in the cloud and on AWS. 

In the past two years they have a really good server uptime though so we can't complain.

I always laugh when cable companies or ISP's state we have a 99% uptime rating.  Sounds really good.  Until you realize that 99% uptime during an entire year means it's been down 3.65 days.  At least a 99.98%, you are only down 1.752 hours.  

Of course, when it's the hours after the biggest event to happen to the Angels in about a decade, it's way too long.

This deserved more attention.

A simpler time...

Now every game in the catalog can be held on a Raspberry Pi.
