Yesterday, a lightning strike outside Dublin caused an incident in the transformers that supply electricity to the data centers that Amazon and Microsoft have in the Irish capital and with those who service, in the case of Amazon, its platform Of cloud computing EC2 and, in the one of Microsoft, to its BPOS (Business Productivity Online Services). The result was the fall or degradation of the service of numerous websites across Europe that use these services, a case that is not the first time or obviously will be the last.
