Is AWS Down Again?


There's nothing on health.aws.amazon.com but I'm getting reports of performance failure on systems that utilize AWS...

Downdetector is also recording failure reports: https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/

Disclosure, I work for Datadog:

https://updog.ai/status/amazonaws

Looks fine for now.

I got a down status on https://leetcode.com/..It may be related.

I'm currently in the process of spinning up a k8s in us-west-2 and no issues, but, as others have said, us-east-1 is the problem child so I guess we'll see.

It's wonky for sure, but only to certain IP ranges.

Down detector is much much higher when there is a real problem.

There might be something, but wouldn’t be widespread.

Don't see any issues in us-east-2 (Ohio) with my infra, but typically issues arise in us-east-1.

I was thinking the same thing as some sites like Google were taking a LONG time to load.

I think it may be down, showing early signs based on location services (geofencing) warning.

We've been observing EC2 instances launched in us-east-1c (use1-az2) remain in Pending status for a very long time / indefinitely, starting at around 16:00 UTC.

Had some very weird behaviour from cloudfront used purely to serve images from s3. Mostly huge slowdowns and outright failures on endpoints. Was about 15 hours ago that I noticed it by chance.

Was nothing on the aws status pages and no alerts/errors in my console. Eventually it sped up again.
