Earlier quoted context omitted.

Tried a few cli commands seems to be working fine for me. Maybe it is not for everyone or maybe It is just the start of something very worse. :(

try aws ecr describe-registry and you will get an error

Yes Indeed, getting failures in CLI as well

My raspberry pi is still working just fine

Yeah, strange, my self-hosted server isn't affected either.

Seems "the cloud" had a major outage less than a month ago, my laptop has a higher uptime.

$ 16:04 up 46 days, 7:02, 9 users, load averages: 3.68 3.56 3.18

US East 1 was down just over a year ago

Meanwhile I moved one of my two internal DNS servers to a second site on 11 Nov 2020, and it's been up since then. One of my monitoring machines has been filling, rotating and deleting logs for 1,712 days with a load average in the c. 40 range for that whole time, just works.

If only there was a way to run stuff with an uptime of 364 days a year without using the cloud /s

At this point I have no idea why anyone would put anything in us-east-1. Also isolation is not as good as they would have you believe: I am unable to login to AWS Quicksight in us-west-2...

Man, some conclusions are being _jumped_ to by this reply.

There is a very long history of US-east-1 being horrible. Just bad. We've told every client we can to get out of there. It's one of the oldest amazon regions, and I think too much old legacy and weird stuff happens there. Use US-west-2.

This got me thinking, are there any major chat services that would go down if a particular AWS/GCP/etc data centre went down? You don't want your service to go down, plus your team's comms at the same time.

Slack is pretty much full AWS, I've been switched over to Teams so I can't check.

I love that every time this happens, 100% of the services on https://status.aws.amazon.com are green.

Are they lying, or just prioritizing their own services?

amazon.com seems to be having problems too. I get something went wrong to a new design/layout which I assume is either new or a fail safe.
