AWS Outage 2025: Building Resilience, Not Reacting in Panic

Join the Conversation at Gartner IOCS 2025

The recent AWS outage was a powerful reminder: cloud disruptions are inevitable, but your response makes all the difference. Instead of letting headlines erode your trust in the cloud, join industry leaders at the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference to learn how resilience—not repatriation or knee-jerk reactions—should guide your next move.

Watch Lydia Long, Gartner Vice President and Analyst, break down what happened during the outage.

 

Why attend Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference?

At the upcoming Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference, you’ll dive deep into lessons from the October 2025 AWS outage.

  • Designing for Failure: Learn how to architect cloud-native and legacy applications for rapid recovery and minimal downtime.
  • Resilience Over Complexity: Find out why maximizing single-cloud resilience often delivers better results than complex multicloud strategies.
  • Transparency and Trust: Hear how an evolving approach to fault isolation and openness can inform your risk management.
  • Business Continuity: Get practical advice on application substitutability and disaster recovery planning to keep your operations running—even when outages strike.
