#112> This is also causing issues with Amplify, API Gateway, AppStream2, AppSync, Athena, Cloudformation, Cloudtrail, Cloudwatch, Cognito, DynamoDB, IoT Services, Lambda, LEX, Managed BlockChain, S3, Sagemaker, and Workspaces. Well, this is a major outgage
seeing issues with scaling up/down in elastic beanstalk too

Isn't that just called us-east-1?
I've read this multiple times that AWS us-east-1 region is the one that has the highest number of outages. I am eager to hear others' experiences here.
us-east-1 is the zone with highest load and most new services are tested there first.
rumor has it, some of the older hardware is moved there and that's why prices are a little cheaper but I have not been able to confirm that.

#114Ah yes. It's the annual AWS Thanksgiving Holiday major us-east outage.
My guess-- rolling out stuff right before re:Invent each year so it can get announced publicly as "available!".

and this is whats disclosed to the public

That's incredibly annoying, given the mandate the replacement service had. I'd be curious to be a fly on the wall during the next Ops meeting when it comes up that yet again the status dashboard got made in a way that makes it hard to update during an outage.
Maybe they should ask a question about resilient status page architecture among the ridiculous coding riddles they give candidates...lol!
Part of the problem is, engineers love shiny things.
Status pages are fundamentally boring things. Who wants to work on them?
It's always tempting to complicate something simple because in part "ooh shiny", and you can always find reasons to justify why. It takes some strong engineering leadership to effectively argue against complicating things, and not be just a constant pain in the arse to everyone and every thing.
The kinds of people that are that good, tend to be people that aren't going to want to do something so boring as build and maintain the infrastructure for hosting status pages.

Thanks for this. My Lambda@Edge function was not working and I thought I broke something my permissions even though I had not touched that for atleast a month. This is the very "helpful" error message
The Lambda function associated with the CloudFront distribution is invalid or doesn't have the required permissions. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner. If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.

#119I think we are learning everything that uses AWS Kinesis internally which is cool. It’s always fascinating to learn how AWS works on the backend.
I work at AWS. I can tell you surely enough it's not pretty or easy to work with. Design and architecture are great here but implementation of that is pretty crap...

Indeed, we had the first AWS Kinesis issues already at 13:50 (UTC). Now it's still ongoing after two hours. The status page didn't even update in the first 45 min or so...
That's typical. The AWS status page is a marketing gimmick whose job is to stay green, not a good faith attempt to assess and report status. If there's an outage, seeing it accurately reflected on the status page is the exception, not the rule.
Isn't that fraud ?
edit: not sure why my question deserved a downvote...
