I got notified by Pingdom that my domain was down before AWS had any info on that status page of theirs. IMHO, they should improve on the latency of their alerts.
By over fifteen minutes in my case. Possibly thirty. WTH.

#42I feel like you can't really say you're in the green when you still have customers unable to use your service. My instance is still stuck in failover.
"9:39 AM PDT Networking connectivity has been restored to most of the affected RDS Database Instances in the single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 region. New instance launches are completing normally. We are continuing to work on restoring connectivity to the remaining affected RDS Database Instances."

#43Worst part of this outage: paying for a multi-az RDS instance and having failover totally, completely, fail.
I'm paying like 2,300 a month and even something basic like failover isnt working. I'm not happy.
I feel for you :-(
Amazon is not cheap, and they have failed way too many times in recent memory.
But the api, oh the api - it's crack, and I can't live without it.

#449:32 AM PDT Connectivity has been restored to the affected subset of EC2 instances and EBS volumes in the single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 region. New instance launches are completing normally. Some of the affected EBS volumes are still re-mirroring causing increased IO latency for those volumes.
For what is worth, my small website is online again.

Do we all agree that we are completely over AWS-EAST now? It's NOT worth the cost savings.

#46I'm curious why no public paas is multiple AWS region.
1) because AWS East is so much cheaper (and none of us like spending money)
2) AppFog actually is multi region (and multi IaaS as well)

I'm still seeing issues, some instances that aren't starting, and others I'm still not able to connect to. So I'm not sure what they are talking about.

#48Good time to consider Google's Compute Engine as an alternative? What will we call it, GCE?
currently, it is a limited beta. Also, it looks to be more expensive.

#49Anybody else having trouble with S3? I don't have actual stats, but I'm noticing a lot of latency and poor performance starting recently, so I'm assuming it's related.

#50Every time (two out of two), by the time I click on "X is down" link, the service/website is working again. Surely there is a better platform for alerting about outages than ycombinator?
