Earlier quoted context omitted.

The list of affected services is a bit all over the place, especially since I highly doubt Xbox Live or Halo is running on AWS.

Down Detector doesn't really detect anything other than people saying "Is [service X] down?" on Twitter, which does mean that Xbox Live appears to be permanently offline if you believe them because the typical user for Xbox Live will declare anything from tripping over their ethernet cable to a tornado levelling their house preventing a connection to mean Xbox Live is down.

If that were true, the line should be flat-ish, but it and playstation's show the same extreme spike at the same time as aws etc.

They did add an update, faster than last time: "7:42 AM PST We are investigating Internet connectivity issues to the US-WEST-2 Region." https://status.aws.amazon.com/ Edit: They added US-WEST-1: "7:52 AM PST We are investigating Internet connectivity issues to the US-WEST-1 Region." Edit: Found root case, maybe? "8:01 AM PST We have identified the root cause of the Internet connectivity to the US-WEST-1 Region and ha…

The issue is not specific to the US, same issues in Europe. Also, it seems not only AWS experiencing issues. Unless Google is hosted on AWS haha...

Yes, it could be network peering related. But there's definitely a lot of us-west-1 and us-west-2 users complaining and people saying that us-east-1 seems fine.

This outage is extremely frustrating to me. My company hosts all our apps in gov cloud. Gov Cloud West 1 is also down, but the AWS Gov Cloud status page indicates that everything is healthy and green. I thought AWS's incident response to the East outage last week was that they'd update the status page to better reflect reality. Gov Cloud Status Page: https://status.aws.amazon.com/govcloud

We are in the same boat. Finally updated "We are investigating Internet connectivity issues to the US-GOV-WEST-1 Region"

Seems to be resolved now. And seems they hid / took away any mentioning of possible issues. Sigh.
