Sysadmin: I can forgive outages, but falsely reporting 'up' when you're obviously down is a heinous transgression. Somewhere a sysadmin is having to explain to a mildly technical manager that AWS services are down and affecting business critical services. That manager will be chewing out the tech because the status site shows everything is green. Dishonest metrics are worse than bad metrics for this exact reason. Any…

Just commenting here because hopefully people can see: AWS status page updated: 1:44 CST

According to the personal health dashboard, they've root-caused the S3 outage and are working to restore.

In the meantime, EC2, ELB, RDS, Lambda, and autoscaling have all been confirmed to be experiencing issues.

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.

If its static site, put it anywhere and just cache it with Cloudflare. (turn on the always on feature)

To do this you'd create a 'Page Rule' that specifically tells Cloudflare to 'cache everything' for a URL pattern like https://examplesite.tld/* .

You can set a cache invalidation time too.

Always online is a slightly different feature I believe.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's unbelievable that the status page is still showing green checkmarks, almost what, 2 hours into the outage? edit: oh, it is actually because of the outage! So if they can't get a fresh read on the service status from s3, they just optimistically assume it's green... even though the service failing to provide said read... is one of the services they're optimistically showing as green XD

Hey can't change it due to the S3 issue. See their twitter post: https://twitter.com/awscloud/status/836656664635846656

It seems status pages should be on entirely independent infrastructure, give the criticality of the information they provide. Perhaps even a separate domain.

A 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…

Amen. We setup our company cloud 2 years ago in US-West-2 and have never looked back. No outage to date.
