If I find out this is why I couldn't get my Happy Meal this morning I'm going to be really, really grumpy.
EDIT: I'm REALLY grumpy now:

So at least Amazon retail is feeling some of the pain from this outage!

Well, the narrative is sort of what Amazon is asking for, heh? The whole us-east-1 management console is gone, what is Amazon posting for the management console on their website? "Service degradation" It's not a degradation if it's outright down. Use the red status a little bit more often, this is a "disruption", not a "degradation".
I've always wondered why services are not counted down more often. Is there some sliver of customers who have access to the management console for example? An increase in error rates - no biggie, any large system is going to have errors. But when 80%+ of customers loads in the region are impacted (cross availability zones for whatever good those do) - that counts as down doesn't it? Error rates in one AZ - degraded.…
So i aggree that degraded is not the proper wording - but it's / was not completly vanished. so.... hard to tell what is an common acceptable wording here.

In my experience, despite whatever is published, companies will private acknowledge and pay their SLA terms. (Which still only gets you, like, one day's worth of reimbursement if you're lucky.)
Retail SLAs are a small risk compared to the enterprise SLAs where an outage like this could cost Amazon tens of millions. I assume these contracts have discount tiers based on availability and anything below 99% would be a 100% discount for that bill cycle.

That's shockingly stupid. I also worked for a major Walmart IT services vendor in another life, and we always had to be careful about how we handled them, because they didn't always show a lot of respect for vendors. On another note, thanks for building some awesome stuff -- walmart.com is awesome. I have both Prime and whatever-they're-currently-calling Walmart's version and I love that Walmart doesn't appear to mix…
What's a "bin" in this context?
Amazon is having an outage in us-east-1, and it is bleeding over elsewhere, like eu: https://status.aws.amazon.com/
Connection was closed before we received a valid response from endpoint URL: "https://codepipeline.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/".

An amazon listing doesn't guarantee a particular SKU.
