Interesting. I got a page during the incident, so at least some of it was working.

Pager as in - the electronic device that existed before the cellphone?

Paged as in alerted or summoned - this service https://www.pagerduty.com/

Would they be publishing a post-mortem? If yes, where do I get to read it? Someone be kind enough to enlighten me. Sincerely,

Yes,if you can clear their hiring bar, post mortems for all such incidents are shared among AWS employees... Some of them are shared company wide

These things happen to every datacentre. That’s why AWS has multiple, separately managed regions that you can use to keep your app up with.

That's why my aws console wasn't working properly this afternoon. It seems that Amazon is not using it's services correctly

Nonsense. The console is hosted out of us-east-1. Also, please learn to spell before posting. Thanks.
