When us-east-1 Had a Bad Day: Can we build Bulletproof AWS Architectures?

Last week's us-east-1 outage reminded us that even the most reliable AWS regions can stumble. In this session, we’ll dive into real-world resilience strategies that go beyond the textbook — from multi-region failover patterns that actually activate when you need them, to chaos engineering practices that prepare your systems for the unexpected.
Join us as we explore AWS’s resilience toolkit and practical approaches to building fault-tolerant systems.

We’ll look at how AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) helps you “break things before they break you,” how AWS Resilience Hub provides assessments and recommendations to strengthen your architecture, and the monitoring strategies that help you sleep better at night.
