http://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services looks like a reasonable alternative place to check/report downtime.

Gah. It was up 3 minutes ago. Anyone have any suspicion this is another ddos episode? I saw that SO was down last night too: https://twitter.com/StackStatus/status/836450836322516992

Pretty confident that isn't it. S3 was returning InternalErrors for 22 seconds before it started timing out and/or returning 503s to all my requests.

I'd bet that something broke (causing InternalError responses) and then nodes started marking themselves as failed (causing the timeouts and 503s soon after).

This seems like an appropriate time as any... Anyone want to list some competitors to S3? Bonus if it also provides a way to host a static website.

Rackspace's Cloudfiles. Does support static websites.

I use both RS Cloud Files and Google's Cloud Storage. Google's is superior in nearly every way.

The only con is that it is a Google product that could be deprecated at any point in time. But, with all the acquisition stuff happening over at RS, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about them killing of their cloud offering.

Did it? Still fields of green for me.

While keeping the status green for s3, they have at least put up a notice at the top: Increased Error Rates We are investigating increased error rates for Amazon S3 requests in the US-EAST-1 Region.

Yeah I just now saw that. Probably regional cache clearing or something.

Its unreal watching key web services fall like dominoes. Its too bad the concept of "too big to fail" applies only to large banks and countries.

Thanks for posting this. I've passed this information through my network.

Slack image uploads are hanging.

Google Cloud Storage comes to mind. From what I recall they can host static websites as well.

Still down for us. S3 seems to be the only thing affected - our mobile apps work fine (EC2 and RDS backend)
