#85I checked their health status page. All is good. /s https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/
They did add an update, faster than last time:
"7:42 AM PST We are investigating Internet connectivity issues to the US-WEST-2 Region."
https://status.aws.amazon.com/
Edit: They added US-WEST-1:
"7:52 AM PST We are investigating Internet connectivity issues to the US-WEST-1 Region."
Edit: Found root case, maybe?
"8:01 AM PST We have identified the root cause of the Internet connectivity to the US-WEST-1 Region and have taken steps to restore connectivity. We have seen some improvement to Internet connectivity in the last few minutes but continue to work towards full recovery."

#88I tried to monitor services status using https://stop.lying.cloud , but they are also hosted to AWS, and down too.
AWS should monitor itself from Azure or GCP, even DO or Linode makes more sense.
Eat your own dog food shows confidence, but monitoring it is a different dimension, you need use anything but your own dog food there.

#89How much do you guys think these frequent outages will effect their market share in cloud products? Is this enough of a push for organizations to actually move over their infrastructure to other providers?
Not at all. The other cloud providers have had their own outages.
Sadly this, people are entrenched with AWS and the... "We're not the only ones down" thing truly has some effect
Organizations can more easily swallow an AWS failure when they aren't the only ones hit. They move elsewhere, those outages look more unique
Folks may think multi cloud is a good idea... But you're just as likely to suffer from the extra points of failure as you are to benefit
