Nothing yet on the AWS service status but Twitter is going a bit crazy.

UPDATE 19.15 BST: now being reported as network issues by Amazon

UPDATE 19.24 BST: Can now see my ec2 instances again from the management console but can't ssh into most of them.

UPDATE 19.27 BST: From Amazon: EC2 APIs in the EU-WEST-1 region are currently impaired. We are working to restore full service. We are also investigating instance connectivity that we believe to be limited to a single Availability Zone.

UPDATE 19.34 BST: RDS and Route 53 also affected.

UPDATE 20.10 BST: From Amazon: The issues with the affected Availability Zone are the result of a power failure in that zone. We are currently recovering power and anticipate that instances in the effected available zone will start to recover within the next 30-60 minutes.

Well, that sucks.

I can SSH to some of my newer instances but not the older ones.

Clear skies over Dublin, not a cloud in sight. ;)

I see all my servers on the management console, but I'm unable to ssh any of them, all in the same availability zone, eu-west-1b

The specific availability zone they're talking about is eu-west-1a. Servers we have there are reported as 'running', but are unresponsive.

Other zones seem fine, but starting new servers doesn't seem to be working.

Availability zones are different for different accounts, so for me it's eu-west-1b. You can log into the console and under the EC2 tab it will show you the status of each of your availability zones.

Ah, good to know, thanks for the pointer.

Another update on the status page, btw. It appears to be a power failure.
