FWIW, if you're already logged in to the console, it seems to be working just fine. In fact, if I try to go to a specific service page, e.g. https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home?region=us-east-1# instead of just browsing to the console home page, that also appears to work.

This way worked for me too. I was able to go straight to the Lambda console.

It seems that the issue may be specific to us-east-1...

https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region=us-east-1

...doesn’t work, but:

https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region...

...works.

So you can get to AWS resources going direct to the respective URLs, such as https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/ or https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/ or even changing regions works. It seems to just affect https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/

Looks like it is not reported having a look at the status dashboard https://status.aws.amazon.com/

It's annoying how often status pages for various services (when they even exist at all) show that things are working when they really aren't

Individual service pages seem to still be up. So, you can go to the EC2 page for example, click on the services dropdown on the top to select the service you want. https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1

It's bc they're manually updated.

Strange, I'm experiencing this issue as well. Wonder if it's an attack or just normal failure

I've always wondered about this strategy. I'm a developer and a business owner. I'm in AWS's core target demographic. I know three things about AWS:

    - Their products have weird names
    - Their web console has horrible UX
    - The lie about uptime and server status

I'm not looking to switch to AWS soon.
