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…
Well, at least our decision to split services has paid off. All of our web app infrastructure is on AWS, which is currently down, but our status page [0] is on Digital Ocean, so at least our customers can go see that we are down! A pyrrhic victory... ;) [0] - http://status.hrpartner.io EDIT UPDATE: Well, I spoke too soon - even our status page is down now, but not sure if that is linked to the AWS issues, or simply t…

You don't use S3 but because they do, your entire infrastructure crumbles.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Rackspace's Cloudfiles. Does support static websites.
I use both RS Cloud Files and Google's Cloud Storage. Google's is superior in nearly every way. The only con is that it is a Google product that could be deprecated at any point in time. But, with all the acquisition stuff happening over at RS, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about them killing of their cloud offering.

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/
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. https://status.heroku.com/incidents/1059
I notice even Cloudflare is starting to have problems serving up pages now.
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…
High availability is improved by hosting in multiple AWS regions. S3 offers alternative region replication functionality and you can use Cloudfront of another CDN to load balance between buckets
This is one of the times that I am glad to be running my own distributed object storage. I'm sure it's not as robust as Amazon, but......
