There will certainly be some staff 24/7 for all the reasons you mention, but based on my experience in technology for global 100 companies, 90%+ of the staff will work traditional US business hours, with the more hands on tech people probably skewing a bit later.In a modern technology operation, the ratio of people who need to be actively engaged in operations compared to the people who develop, manage, sell, and implement is very small. When I started in IT 25+ years ago, I would guess that 70% of the staff either did shift work or carried pagers and had on-call rotations. Now, I guess the equivalent number is closer to 10%. BTW, Amazon operations are highly automated and fault tolerant, and the loss of a single sever, or even multiple racks of servers, has close zero impact on them. |
