AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright - Dexerto

A major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on October 20 had the unexpected side effect of causing chaos in bedrooms across the US, as owners of Eight Sleep’s $2,000+ ‘Pod’ mattress covers found their smart beds had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures and odd positions in the night.

The outage began around 3 am ET, when AWS reported “increased error rates and latencies” in its US-EAST-1 region.
