Ok. If you're receiving errors, and you're NOT using opsworks, please respond. We're using opsworks too and have ~30 servers down. Maybe we all should be looking at the opsworks agent.

We are getting errors across multiple AWS API's. It's nothing to do with Opsworks itself, rather it appears like there is an internal networking issue.

Both SQS and SNS were erroring and now SQS has gone down completly with all requests timing out.

Servers in Japan seem ok, but e-mail (N. Virginia) is more or less dead for me.

We've been having issues with SES N.Virginia, but have managed to get mail through. It's intermittent, but we are getting our batches out. It's not pretty.

Our e-mails are more or less mission-critical, so we try to send, then try to send again -- I suspect the additional failures are causing this to back up a bit. For concrete numbers, of 27 e-mails we tried to send, only 2 got out successfully.

Also of interest is that I only got a 454 ("Temporary service failure") three times -- the rest of the time, it just freezes/times out in ssl.

Looks like there's critical infrastructure in us-east-1 that's broken and causing a ripple effect across all of AWS

Our platform is entirely hosted in ap-southeast-2 but we've had our EC2 instances deregistered and OpsWorks reporting them terminated where EC2 is showing them active and they're still reachable via SSH

Although it's looking like end-user deliverability is not great we are seeing huge delays in things actually getting out of SES.

So three different environments have had the ELB just release all of their clients and not come back onboard. Manual intervention was the only way.

Whats the recommended way to monitor if instances have become detached or non responsive? Want to immediately alert slack or send an email, etc.

Killing me I was wondering why my sites weren't working and console access is killed. Can't log in, can't find any information. Thanks for this. Huge.

hey vonklaus, what u can do is just login to console , when u see 500 error page . Just hit the back button you will be logged into the account

couldn't get that to work for me. I tried doing an incognito window, hitting the back button, etc. I thought it was something specific to me as I had just killed a shell session and deleted my only droplet when I noticed. It's up now though, glad I saw this post though thanks.
