Yes. and Now my HN profile page is down as well.

I've been getting sporadic "Bad Gateway" errors on HN for the past half hour or so, not apparently associated with any one feature (such as profile pages). My suspicion is that it's unrelated to anything happening at AWS (HN doesn't have any AWS dependencies, does it?), though maybe everyone checking HN to see what the status is has increased load.

Not sure if its related or not (I'll just assume it is), but dockerhub is down as well. Haven't been able to push or pull for the last 15 minutes, some other folks complaining of the same thing.

Yeah, bad morning. I started by trying to pull a Docker image. When I couldn't, I tried to push some stuff to S3. Now of course I'm checking HN. :p

But wait. Isn't S3 "the cloud". Everyone promised the cloud would never go down, ever. It has infinite uptime and reliability.

Well good thing I have my backups on [some service that happens to also use S3 as a backend].

This seems like an appropriate time as any... Anyone want to list some competitors to S3? Bonus if it also provides a way to host a static website.

IBM Bluemix offers file storage[NFS], block storage[iSCSI], and cloud storage [S3 API, Swift API].

we also offer a large number of boilerplates such as Flask, ASP,net, node.js

we have been making lots of changes lately check us out!

Yup, same here. It has been a few minutes already. Wanna bet the green checkmark[1] will stay green until the incident is resolved? [1] https://status.aws.amazon.com/

The red check mark is hosted on S3...

Comment of the year.

This is one of the times that I am glad to be running my own distributed object storage. I'm sure it's not as robust as Amazon, but......

What are you using?

We're in US-West-2 and our ELBs are dropping 5XXs like there's no tomorrow. This is definitely cascading.

Huh, I wonder if that's why Origin (EA's Steam competitor) cloud sync just stopped working
