After the AWS Outage: How to Build Systems That Survive

When AWS goes down, the ripple effects are global, from authentication failures to service disruptions that bring businesses to a standstill. But while every outage makes headlines, the real question is: Why are so many organizations still unprepared?

‍

In this live fireside chat, Wallarm’s Field CTO, and STO of Security Edge, Tim Ebbers, unpacks the architectural lessons behind the latest AWS outage — and what engineering, DevOps, and security leaders can do today to prevent history from repeating itself.

‍

We’ll explore the evolution from dual-active data centers to multi-region cloud design, uncover the myths around “high availability,” and share a practical blueprint for resilience that actually works in 2025.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why “multi-AZ” isn’t the same as resilience — and what to do instead
• The critical control planes most teams forget to diversify
• How to modernize dual-active principles for the cloud era
• The true cost of downtime (and how to make the business case for resilience)
