If you were hoping for Amazon to mention their prolonged Web Services outage during the company’s quarterly earnings call today, you were probably left disappointed. While waiting for a sign from Seattle, David and Jason invited Bryan to the studio to provide color commentary. Topics of discussion include the problems with network storage and abstracting physical disks, some historical context and personal experience with outages, concern over folks conflating “the cloud” in general with AWS in particular and the estimated economic impact of lost Pez dispenser transactions.

Bryan Cantrill makes his first appearance with Ben still on the road, and along with David and Jason takes a long, circuitous route from computing history to the computing future by way of elegant nachos.
