Funny how there is a widely reported problem and everything is green on AWS health check site http://status.aws.amazon.com/

Is Amazon e-com website is dependent on AWS ? I don't think so. Pointers please.

I've been getting 454 Temporary authentication failure errors from the SES SMTP gateway, which is in US-EAST-1.

Edit: back up for me; SMTP gateway is authenticating and emails are sending out again.

Just reported: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia) Increased API Error Rates Update: AWS Management Console: Elevated error rates as of 2:15 CST

I hate how they weasel out and display a green checkbox, but with a tiny little "i" for information on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia).

I deserve to see something visually distinct if there is a problem. This is purposefully poor UX.

If I'm visiting the status page for your site, it's probably because I'm a technical user who suspects something is broken. Don't you dare hide what is broken from me.

Yes, it runs on EC2.

AWS Console icon is now red (i.e. Service disruption)

It's not. We're having issues with one of our EC2 instances and this is clearly effecting other sites. It's very unnerving that their service health dashboard isn't reporting any issues. EDIT: It just now reported an issue on EC2 N. Virginia. Still a little disappointed that it's not real-time.

It could be either certain services limited to Virginia, or certain sites within the region -- my instance is hosted in Virginia, and while very basic, has remained up throughout.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

AWS console is up for me -- very fast access.

Try logging out and logging back in. The log-in process goes through amazon.com .

Or don't...... Assuming he needs AWS :)
