Rumor control

Werner Vogels: "Root cause was single bit corruption of internal state messages that are distributed via Gossip techniques."

Interesting - Amazon using gossip to propagate information. Presumably this is done to reduce the overall number of calls and avoid any central point of failure.

What do you mean there's no government? There's always a government

Which means no rumour control:)

    Amazon's Dynamo paper (Section 4.8) mentions using a gossip protocol.


    Given where Werner comes from this was probably in his conditions for the position :-)
