DESCRIPTION

At EC2, the one-in-a-million event happens every few minutes...

We generate and process 30 - 50 Tb of data per region per month effort to answer the question: What is the customer experience with EC2 Networking?

My team builds software and uses a "data first" approach to uncovering the ways in which the EC2 Networking control and data planes break.
