Everything you know about last week's AWS outage is wrong

So... everything I thought I knew about last week's AWS outage is right?

Aside from a few tangential rants, this seems to match the coverage I had read.

>Widespread issues trend toward DNS because it is just that important to how the entirety of modern computing works today.

This one would be a correction of my understanding though. So problems conferred on DNS because everything uses DNS? I was under the impression it was a bit of an opaque rats nest that is prone to have propagation issues that can seem non-deterministic if the wrong bits are flipped. It has some notoriety. If that's entirely heresy then I suppose that's a slight update to understanding.
