After two hours, they have finally updated their dashboard.
Now might be a good time to ponder a lasting solution. Clearly, we cannot trust AWS, or any other single provider, to stay up. What is the shortest, quickest to implement, path to actual high availability? You would have to host your own software which can also fail, but then at least you could do something about it. For example, you could avoid changing things during critical times of your own business (e.g. a trade…
S3 offers alternative region replication functionality and you can use Cloudfront of another CDN to load balance between buckets

The AWS Status page will lie to you: https://medium.com/@ev.dev.dev/the-aws-status-page-will-lie-...
I like how this post says "if you look at the AWS Status Page, this what you see". but you can't see the image. because S3 is down.
This is getting crazy.
Anyone doing a region failover? Any issues so far? We are making plans to flip to us-west-1
what's truly incredible is that S3 has been offline for h̶a̶l̶f̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶r̶ two hours now and Amazon still has the audacity to put five shiny green checkmarks next to S3 on their service page. they just now put up a box at the top saying "We are investigating increased error rates for Amazon S3 requests in the US-EAST-1 Region." increased error rates? really? Amazon, everything is on fire. you are not fooling an…
(Disclaimer: I work for AWS.) The dashboard is not changing color due to the S3 issue. We're updating the banner in place of that. Edit: Update at 11:35 AM PST: We have now repaired the ability to update the service health dashboard. The service updates are below. We continue to experience high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1, which is impacting various AWS services. We are working hard at repairing S3, believe we u…
Wow, S3 is a much bigger single point of failure than I have imagined. Travis CI, Trello, Docker Hub, ... I can't even install packages because the binary cache of NixOS is down. Love living in the cloud.
Omg I wish I googled this earlier. Wasted hours debugging :(
And then I see the news.

Google Cloud Storage comes to mind. From what I recall they can host static websites as well.
Yes, we can. You can host static content in GCS in the same way that you would using S3, or you can Google Cloud Load Balancer to do more complex setups, such as mixing static GCS content and compute URLs on the same domain.

Well that explains all the green checkmarks /s
