We've been observing EC2 instances launched in us-east-1c (use1-az2) remain in Pending status for a very long time / indefinitely, starting at around 16:00 UTC.

You all should add EC2 - extra bonus if you have some way of tracking performance in addition to errors (right now we're seeing EC2 instances in us-east-1c not transition out of Pending status).

Had some very weird behaviour from cloudfront used purely to serve images from s3. Mostly huge slowdowns and outright failures on endpoints. Was about 15 hours ago that I noticed it by chance.

Was nothing on the aws status pages and no alerts/errors in my console. Eventually it sped up again.

We were seeing ECS Fargate capacity weirdness in us-east-1 earlier.

Piece of UX feedback for the product team behind Updog: company logos are not searchable. It should be easy to Ctrl-F and find a relevant cloud on that detector, instead of scrolling alphabetically.
