Episode notes
Podcast Paused By The Outage
- The hosts paused recording because AWS issues prevented sending files to their editor and disrupted the show.
- They switched recording software mid-episode as a workaround during the outage.

- Nick and Jack argue cloud providers are "too connected to fail," not too big to fail, and need oversight.

- Regulators should treat major cloud providers as critical infrastructure and impose redundancy and oversight requirements.
- The hosts recommend regulatory scrutiny because repeated AWS outages didn't erode its market dominance.
