Yeah same here. Amazon is throwing a "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" but AWS console is fine.

Wow. Something this big means I'll bet it's a networking issue.

I wonder if they lose money for a brief outage, or if people just delay their purchases. I seem to remember them graphing this somewhere.

http://www.amazon.ca/ is OK.

I get Http/1.1 Service Unavailable on first two requests.

I got 500 with the message "We're very sorry, but we're having trouble doing what you just asked us to do. Please give us another chance--click the Back button on your browser and try your request again. Or start from the beginning on our homepage. "
