I'd be interested in seeing someone polish this turd. How would you spin amazon being down into good press when people are looking for reliability. Only thing I can think of is people will be writing about you and that should increase your page rank but I doubt amazon is concerned about higher page rank.

Anyone else care to speculate how this could be good press?

It could be an opportunity to explain what reliability actually is (it's not "pack one availability zone with all your stuff") and how AWS helps you achieve that.

That's awesome spin. So Amazon gives you the Chaos Monkey, whether you like it or not.
