When the Cloud Falters: Why 2W Tech Chooses Microsoft Azure Over AWS
Earlier today, a major outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) disrupted dozens of high-profile websites and apps across the globe. From Snapchat and Roblox to Duolingo and Alexa, the ripple effect was immediate and far-reaching. Businesses relying on AWS infrastructure faced hours of downtime, frustrated users, and operational delays, all stemming from a DNS-related issue in AWS’s US-EAST-1 region FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul | MSN.
This incident underscores a critical truth in modern IT strategy: not all clouds are created equal.
At 2W Tech, we have made a deliberate choice to build our cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure. Why? Because resilience, transparency, and enterprise-grade reliability are not optional, they are foundational.
Microsoft Azure’s global architecture is designed for high availability, with built-in redundancy across regions and services. Its integration with Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and security frameworks like Defender and Sentinel makes it a natural fit for organizations seeking seamless, secure digital transformation. And when outages do occur, Microsoft’s communication and recovery protocols are clear, fast, and customer focused.
For our clients in manufacturing, distribution, and beyond, Azure offers more than uptime, it offers peace of mind. Whether deploying Epicor ERP in the cloud, building intelligent dashboards with Power BI, or leveraging Copilot for productivity, Azure provides the stability and scalability that modern businesses demand.
Today’s AWS outage is a reminder that cloud strategy is not just about features, it is about trust. And at 2W Tech, we trust Azure to keep our clients connected, protected, and ahead of the curve.
