But Netflix did encounter issues. For example the account cancel page did not work.
I would say that's a pretty minor issue that isn't related to the functioning of the service itself.
It's probably by design that the only thing that didn't work was the cancel page
That's honestly just a tin-foil hat sort of take, that entirely relies on planning for an unprecedented AWS outage specifically to screw over customers.
What I meant by that is that they probably didn't care if that service has a robust backup solution like authentication or something would.
