Vercel is down too.
My sites run on Cloudflare and Vercel, and I can't even log in to those right now.
I'm curious — what does Hacker News run on? It seems impervious to any kind of downtime...

#112Must be a Y in the day.
It amazes me how many projects exist that don't even have multi-region capability, let alone no single point of failure

#113I tried to monitor services status using https://stop.lying.cloud , but they are also hosted to AWS, and down too.
AWS should monitor itself from Azure or GCP, even DO or Linode makes more sense. Eat your own dog food shows confidence, but monitoring it is a different dimension, you need use anything but your own dog food there.
AWS wouldn't monitor itself from a competitor, of course, but they could just as well silo a team and isolate DCs to do independent self-auditing.

#114Is it AWS or could it be an ISP? AWS seems to be working for me, but I’ve worked with clients in the US and spectrum internet tended to drop connections to us sporadically, which looks like an outage to our clients but is something we obviously can’t control.
If it's a network issue, it's on their side. I've verified from centurylink, comcast, cogent, he.net, at&t, and verizon - all of them are having issues. This isn't like: Cox is having an outage and just can't get to AWS.

#115At least this still works: https://livemap.pingdom.com/
Partially, the stats on the right are wrong. For me it shows:
Website outages in the past hour 86,967
Lowest 16,208
Average 16,208
Highest 16,209

#116It's not just AWS - check the down reports: https://downdetector.com/ Cloudflare having some significant issues as well on certain domains.
The list of affected services is a bit all over the place, especially since I highly doubt Xbox Live or Halo is running on AWS.
lol imagine if azure was just AWS in the backend

#117leetcode.com is also down

#118Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm wondering the same thing. We have stuff hosted in us-west-2 and multiple people across the US are reporting that our systems are down, however our system is working fine for me here, which is near Toronto.
When us-east was down recently, our apps were not effected and we host on east. Maybe a similar issue?
The east-1 downtime was the interconnection between AWS hosted services, including the control plane, so most resources not dependent on AWS APIs stayed up (eg. non-autoscaled EC2 instances).

#120It is surprising that their status page is down too: https://status.aws.amazon.com Their CDN, CloudFront, always works reliable for me. Couldn't they put the status page on CloudFront?
Down for me, as well.
