It looks like Netflix had a huge outage overnight. The company hasn't updated its Twitter feed yet but service in my area is back up and running this morning.

The company says on its Twitter page that the outage was caused by "some of Amazon's cloud infrastructure
Wasn't Netflix fault. Damn you Amazon cloud
....not much point in Netflix

Yep, crappy timing. Good thing I've got amazon prime also. I find myself using netflix less and less. The free prime stuff has been mostly tv shows lately it seems though.
I was on netflix yesterday and didn't even notice. It must have been a very short outage.
more proof that cloud services are worthless, because when the cloud breaks you are at the mercy of the cloud masters
first world problems...
I was watching " A Christmas Story" all night long
O.T. Not much point in you spamming to 50 post either.
Explains the netflix problem I had. Glad they got it sorted out though. Thanks

Been saying this for the last few years that my company has been trying to get into cloud computing, and they look at me like I just said I was a Nazi.
Who really thinks it's a good idea to make your data only available via an uncontrollable remote server that is subject to downtime for a litany of reasons?
Or run many applications such as Office 365 off-site. Why does one need to be connected to the Internet to type a paper or make a slideshow?

Is it down again?
Evers said the issue was the result of an outage at an Amazon Web Services' cloud computing center in Virginia and started at about 12:30 p.m. PST (2030 GMT) on Monday and was fully restored before 8:00 a.m. PST Tuesday morning, although streaming was available for most users by 11:00 p.m. PST on Monday.
I guess this is what happens when you have all your eggs in your competitor's basket.

I see a lot of remarks blaming cloud computing in general as a bad thing. Its a great thing, IF it meets your needs and you know what you are buying. I have a business that needs significant amounts of elastic computing power. I can afford it by paying for a cloud service what would require a small server farm otherwise. Now, I do have backup reserve retainer with another cloud service for pretty cheap, AND I keep a couple servers (not a server farm) for emergencies.
