#3Amazon is continuing the trend of announcing outages 30 minutes after they start.
Just signed up for a support contract since the status page said everything was fine.

#4So what is the best way to balance a hosted site between Amazon and a separate service? Because these connectivity issues suck.

#5It's region us-east-1c for now, at least from where I'm sitting... I have instances in other us-east datacenters that are fine.

Availability zone letters are specific to your account.

Specific availability zones in a region are mapped per-account, so your east-1c might be my east-1a:
"To ensure that resources are distributed across the Availability Zones for a region, we independently map Availability Zones to identifiers for each account. For example, your Availability Zone us-east-1a might not be the same location as us-east-1a for another account. Note that there's no way for you to coordinate Availability Zones between accounts."

#8We (ScraperWiki) can still access some of our US East servers. From those, can daisy chain SSH into the ones that are offline. Those servers can't see the world, but are working fine and can see other EC2 instances.

I wonder how that works with new zones. I remember us-east-1e being added separately to the original four. Presumably, that one's the same for all accounts that'd already signed up at the time.

#10I got into one of our machines that presented the connectivity issues from another one which was still reachable. It had no external (curl www.google.com) connectivity. Just two minutes ago it started resolving again.
