Re: Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again

4:35 AM PST We are investigating increased EC2 launched failures and networking connectivity issues for some instances in a single Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) in the US-EAST-1 Region. Other Availability Zones within the US-EAST-1 Region are not affected by this issue. via https://stop.lying.cloud/

Can anyone explain the affiliation of stop.lying.cloud to Amazon? All of the legalese in the header/footer seem to indicate it's actually owned and run by Amazon. If so... why? Why not just... use the real status page?

I mean I'm glad it exists, don't get me wrong. Just weird that they'd have two status pages, one seemingly existing only to sort of 'mock' themselves...

Fields of green here https://status.aws.amazon.com/ Anyway I can access the web console with no issue (eu-west)

Status page says there are issues. It’s not all green.

Now. It took a lot longer for that page to know/admit the problems than it did half the internet.

Yep, S3 possibly the villain here

I wonder if there's an s3 compatible service with similar pricing that can be used as a fallback? Are digital ocean s3 compatible storage accounts's backed by real s3?

afaik there's nothing tying it specifically to GH (where the metatada is), and then the actual code is just in an S3 bucket, so in theory should be reasonably easy [ha!] to just host anywhere. In theory, I mean that's a massive lump of stuff, and surely wherever it gets hosted is going to face exactly the same issues (though if it does become very widely used, then you'd think every major provider that controls infra could easily have a mirror)

It's not official. The people making the page probably just copied everything, including the legalese.

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.

Same: only normal text seems kinda working - edits failing or working with big lag; - "Threads" view slow; - can't emoji-react; - can't upload images; - people also say they can't join new channels.
