#332Experiencing issues with S3 and ELB for over an hour now.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#333Is there a list of all apps/services that rely on S3?
Would be easier to compile the inverse.

#334Earlier quoted context omitted.
@mikecb on Twitter explained it well. "The red icon is stored in S3 US East."
While that may be true, that's not the reason you're seeing green. You should have been seeing a broken image or a status page not finishing loading if that was an issue.
If this is how they're going to handle an outage of their premier AWS service, it's other cloud providers that will be seeing green.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#335Yup, 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/
It's crazy how much better the communication (including updates and status pages) is of the companies that rely on AWS than AWS' communication itself.

#337A piece of hard-earned advice: us-east-1 is the worst place to set up AWS services. You're signing up for the oldest hardware and the most frequent outages. For legacy customers, it's hard to move regions, but in general, if you have the chance to choose a region other than us-east-1, do that. I had the chance to transition to us-west-2 about 18 months ago and in that time, there have been at least three us-east-1 ou…
I'm getting the same outage in us-west-2 right now.
IIRC the console for S3 is global and not region specific even though buckets are.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#338bets as to the cause? internal DDoS against their dynamo clusters backing s3? DNS issues between amazon's services?
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#339This 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.
Netlify is great for hosting static sites. Free for non-commercial sites.
Netlify's status page and pre-rendering service are down due to the S3 outage.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#340Started a list of "things to do when S3 is down." https://justinjackson.ca/s3/ What else should I add?
Migrate all your stuff to Cloudfront.
S3 is not a CDN!
