The recent AWS outage in the US-EAST-1 region was more than just a technical glitch, it exposed the critical vulnerabilities in a single cloud provider infrastructure.

In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders, I look at what caused the outage and the global ripple effect that took down major apps, banking services, and even government portals.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

💡The root cause of the failure.

💡The disproportionate impact on sectors like finance, gaming, and government.

💡Why the concentration of cloud power creates a "too big to fail" systemic risk.

💡Possible mitigation strategies to avoid similar issues in the future.

This episode is essential listening for planning your business continuity and risk management strategy.
