Hussein Nasser: We now know why the DNS failed

TL;DR

AWS’s October 19, 2025 outage (which knocked DNS offline for over a day) finally has an official RCA published 10 days later. The video breaks it down in bite-sized chunks—0:00 for the high-level summary, 5:30 on how DynamoDB’s DNS imploded, 13:41 on EC2 errors and 16:16 on Network Load Balancer glitches.

Hungry for more? The post links to the full RCA plus a smorgasbord of backend courses (OS, Node.js, networking, databases, NGINX, Python), troubleshooting deep dives, podcasts and membership perks—perfect if you love dissecting infra disasters and leveling up your skills.
