Started a list of "things to do when S3 is down." https://justinjackson.ca/s3/ What else should I add?

Yes. Go for a walk and interact with people in the community. You might meet someone interesting and learn something as well!

I'm getting the same outage in us-west-2 right now.

Seeing it in eu-west-1 as well. Even the dashboard won't load. Shame on AWS for still reporting this as up; what use is a Personal Health Dashboard if it's to AWS's advantage not to report issues?

Now it's in the PHD, backdated to 11:37:00 UTC-6. How could it take an hour to even admit that an issue exists? We have alerts set on this but they're useless when this late.

Have they even acknowledged the mortem..?

Yes. "We've identified the issue as high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1, which is also impacting applications and services dependent on S3. We are actively working on remediating the issue."

> We are actively working on remediating the issue.

I do love corporate-speak.

It's a rapidly oxidising waste receptacle (rather than a dumpster fire).
