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...

The people who maintain the unofficial site would have, at some point, used their CTRL and C keys followed not immediately, but closely by, their CTRL and V keys.

But that is copyright infringement. You're not allowed to copy some work, modify it, then slap the original copyright on it. This is an illegal website, prone to being taken down by AWS.

It's just strange.

Where are you located? "X is down" without location is only moderately useful. I'm having issues with Slack from central EU (Poland) -- can't upload images, or send emoji reactions to post; curiously, text works fine). Wondering if linked

You should complain to Slack then. It's their problem to choose a reliable provider, and AWS seems to have trouble with keeping this status.

So why are people not migrating out of us-east-1? Operating in ap-southeast, we weren't that affected by the us-east-1 down time, although our system is reasonably static and doesn't make lots of IAM calls (which seems to be a large SPOF from us-east-1).
