I can't get to netflix.com. That is no good. Luckily all of my 75+ east servers seem to be ok.

netflix.com is down here as well

Why does the AWS dashboard show all green when that is most definitely not the case? http://status.aws.amazon.com/

Even now that it is updated it has yellow triangles for "performance issues" instead of red circle for service disruption. Seems like they are in denial.

idea for heroku : allow customers to host a "my app is down page for blah blah reason" where they host their status page (rackspace I guess?). Who think this would be useful? My users see a blank page right now when they go to ZeTrip, I'd rather show them a static page saying : "our site is down due to amazon lack of redundancy."

Cloudflare lets you do this afaik. I'm not sure I'd trust a service to show a proper 'this site is temporarily down' page when something very bad has happened.

"heroku status" command returns : All Systems Go: No known issues at this time.

Just started up try using filepicker.io and it seems to be down too.

Beginning to feel pretty lucky though -- this is at least the 4th AWS-East outage that has made enough of a splash to notice but missed my instances. Upgrading to multiple availability zones was scheduled for Monday anyway.

This is the motivation I needed to spread my EC2 instances across multiple availability zones. When the power comes back. (fandalism is down)

Don't assume that'll save you.

Comcast's login server looks like it's down too: http://login.comcast.net. Prevents me from logging into HBO Go. No Netflix either. :(

Reddit also seems to be experiencing some difficulties. Are they still on AWS?

Yup, I can confirm from here in Montana that both Netflix and Herkou are down. However, I have 20 instances on us-east. And haven't seen any problems, even during yesterday's outage on AWS. Edit: that doesn't mean this isn't an AWS outage.... It almost certainly is.

Yeah, my ~20 instances are okay. I think we had a hiccup with our (multi-az, whooo!) RDS though.
