One of my heroku apps is down, and I cant' log into the heroku dashboard to check it out. I'm guessing this is related.

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/

In December 2015 I received an e-mail with the following subject line from AWS, around 4 am in the morning:

"Amazon EC2 Instance scheduled for retirement"

When I checked the logs it was clear the hardware failed 30 mins before they scheduled it for retirement. EC2 and root device data was gone. The e-mail also said "you may have already lost data".

So I know that Amazon schedules servers for retirement after they already failed, green check doesn't surprise me.

We have a slack emoji for it called greenish. It's the classic AWS green checkmark with an info icon in the bottom. Apparently it's NOT an outage if you don't acknowledge it. It's called alt-uptime.

I'm confused, just logged into work account, and site, and some contract stuff I do. All use S3 / Cloudfront... no errors...

GitLab Pages [0] is pretty good for static websites IMO, you can use GitLab CI to build more complex sites as well [1]. Disclosure: I work for GitLab [0]: pages.gitlab.io [1]: https://about.gitlab.com/2016/12/07/building-a-new-gitlab-do...

GitLab really needs to provide a way to force HTTPS for domains that have it set up. I have to manually link with ` https://` everywhere.

I would say use CloudFlare, but...

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

You also get your ssl sessions backed up on global webcaches as an added feature.

Time to move your stuff away from Crimeflare folks
