This outage is extremely frustrating to me. My company hosts all our apps in gov cloud. Gov Cloud West 1 is also down, but the AWS Gov Cloud status page indicates that everything is healthy and green. I thought AWS's incident response to the East outage last week was that they'd update the status page to better reflect reality.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Currently we're seeing 40kms response times from CloudFront distributions, we can't hit PagerDuty (probably runs on AWS), etc. I guess it could be an ISP thing but I guess we're all assuming 80/20.

I wonder if you really dug into most company's tech stacks, how many of their support tools (e.g., PagerDuty) are reliant on overlapping cloud providers.

Oh man, it is insane. During the aws incident last week we couldn't build software because bitbucket pipelines were all down, due to them running lambdas in us-east-1 only haha.

We've taken a massive turn away from a "decentralized" internet.

We are barbarians occupying a city built by an advanced civilization, marveling at the hot baths but know nothing about how their builders keep them running. One day, the baths will drain and anyone who remembers how to fill them up will have died.

Seems like ever since Microsoft bought AWS, it's been going down an awful lot.

> Seems like ever since Microsoft bought AWS, it's been going down an awful lot. What?

Satire.

Every time Github went down multiple people post on HN saying "every since they were bought by Microsoft, ...". As annoying as those Rust evangelists on every single memory corruption bug.

It's not just AWS - check the down reports: https://downdetector.com/ Cloudflare having some significant issues as well on certain domains.

It's possible people are reporting the issue as CloudFlare because that's whose error page they see when a box on EC2 is unreachable.

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...

DNS A record suggests a dedicated server from this company:
