One of our EC2 instances in us-east-1c is unavailable and stuck in "stopping" state after a force stop. Interestingly enough, EC2 instances in us-east-1b don't seem to be affected. The console is throwing errors from time to time. As usual no information on AWS status page.

Instances stuck in the "stopping" state is pretty common, in my experience.

Slack seems to have some issues because of that - I'm not sure if anyone is receiving messages, as it became completely silent for the last 15 minutes or so.

Sending and receiving messages works here, but editing them does not, it throws an error. Statuses such as "calling" also do not seem to be updated any longer.

Edit: Restarting Slack does update the edited messages.

Edit 15:24 CET: Slack is back up.

New messages seem to be ok for me, but editing old ones and uploading images both seem to be broken right now.

So, how many execs are going to push to move to self-managed hosting in the new year?

Packaging a way to migrate off AWS could be a unicorn idea.

Bitbucket is affected, pages randomly take forever to load or return 500

Yep, just botched a merge likely because of this.

Ok, enough AWS outages to say I'm tired of hearing about low end stuff being flaky.

Also running a big production app in east-1 and we're experiencing issues.

Uploading images doesn't work for me.

I think it's pretty widely accepted that AWS' own status pages are utterly useless.
