They use Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and likely other hosting services and tools. Good they they have a mix.
It's concerning that so much of iCloud was affected all at once, not to mention retail services.
Got a tip for us?

I think you mean use the switch governments and others have. Look at the Verizon BGP misroute last week to see how easy it is.
Netflix does more than serve websites. The Netflix app on AppleTV and other set top boxes is not delivered as a website, but as data streams that are parsed. Similar to serving a website, but not identical.
Either way, the right mix of caching can allow them to handle massive amounts of traffic with great reliability.
Very happy to hear you are okay, and that damage is pretty minimal!
God bless, and Happy Fourth of July!!
TBH why are they opened on the fourth of July... I mean Amerika right... I hated working on the fourth of July for the six or seven customers that would come in. I know sometimes that it was the fault of the mall but apple has to have some influence on this..
Apple maintains it's own servers for iCloud operational services such as authentication, encryption, orchestration, etc. They use other cloud providers you mentioned for data storage. If I'm not mistaken, they no longer use Microsoft though, only Google and Amazon - and potentially some other players.
You weren’t supposed to do that. Those options are only to make the middle option seem like a good deal.I must have broke it, was trying to order a new Mac Pro maxed out
And if that doesn't work they can reformat their hard drive and re-install all their apps.

Oh ****, where did I put that Time Machine archive?
Of course, the one time in about two years I try to log into iCloud photos on Apple TV to show vacation pics to family aaaannnd....iCloud is down.
Everyone: maybe a sign no one gives a rat's %#$ about your crappy vacation photos and life.
Me: Probably.

That’s actually good for users of their Internet services - any outage that affects their bottom line will be fixed ASAP.
So if something doesn’t affect their bottom line Apple takes their time fixing the issue?
Damn, I was honestly just joking around.
Yes, before I heard about the earthquake I typed one thing in my post:
"Iran."
That was just a joke. Once I heard about the earthquake (then aftershocks) I changed my post too:
"I said something about Iran but this was before I knew about the earthquake that hit California.
However, Iran they did say they were going to hit us with cyber attacks.
God bless the people going through this earthquake. May everyone be safe & sound!"
So, I am not sure why you seemed to be mad at me for referring to Iran? I do not do that silly sarcasm thing that I think goes like this.../s? So maybe I should have made it more clear that I was just joshin' around. Sorry if offended you.
I would love to know which software/analysis sources you are using, as that would be something I would be very interested in.
Please PM me and let know, I would greatly appreciate it!
Have a great evening and Happy 4th of July!
Exactly. Apple has over 1 billion users, yet MR makes it out like there's a massive conspiracy based on "social media" reports. Even if 100,000 people posted on twitter that their account was down, that would still be less than 1/10th of one percent of all users.

Yes, the /s or
are critical to use here. Lots of people take everything seriously. Happy 4th.
Your theory is that Tim Cook personally supervises the servers including on the 4th of July?
Okay.

Thank you very much, Happy 4th to you and yours!
First suspect: China's cyber attack.
Just like how they used DDoS to take down Telegram couple of weeks ago.

C'mon. No system can be 100% reliable. 5 Nines (99.999% up) is exceptional and I'd bet Apple is in that range. This must have been a biggie given the breadth of services effected and they fixed it within 12 hours. And they will learn lessons. (Stuff) happens.
