Recall is on AWS.
Everyone using Recall for meeting recordings is down.
In some domains, a single SaaS dominates the domain and if that SaaS sits on AWS, it doesn't matter if AWS is 35% marketshare because the SaaS that dominates 80% of the domain is on AWS so the effect is wider than just AWS's market share.
We're on GCP, but we have various SaaS vendors on AWS so any of the services that rely on AWS are gone.
Many chat/meeting services also run on AWS Chime so even if you're not on AWS, if a vendor uses Chime, that service is down.
And this comes in a time with regulations like Dora and the BaFin tightening things - managing these boxes becomes less effort than maintaining compliance across vendors.
Note, I'm not affiliated with any of these companies.
For example, Purestorage has put a lot of work into their solution and for a decent chunk of cache, you get a system that slots right into VMware, offers iSCSI for other infrastructure providers, offers a CSI plugin for containers, and speaks S3. And integration with a few systems like OpenShift has been simplified as well.
This continues. You can get ingress/egress/network monitoring compliance from Calico slotting in as a CNI plugin, some systems managing supply chain security, ... Something like Nutanix is an entirely integrated solution you rack and then you have a container orchestration with storage and all of the cool things.
Cost is not really that much a factor in this market. Outsourcing regulatory requirements and liability to vendors is great.
