If one looks at the intra-day chart of AMZN, you could see the market adjust the pricing of the stock relative to the revenue lost every second due to site down.

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.

Same here, I don't believe emails are getting sent using SES.

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

Given that none of my running AWS services experienced any downtime, that seems entirely reasonable.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Console is not the only thing faltering. Our system is not able to send any emails using SES

Same here, can't send SES emails via the API (altho SMTP works for us)
