“Based on our investigation, the issue appears to be related to DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1. We are working on multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery.” It’s always DNS.
the answer is always DNS

#832Stupid question, why isn't the stock down? Couldn't this lead to people jumping to other providers and at the very least require some pretty big fees for do dramatically breaking SLA? Is it just not a biggest fraction of revenue to matter?

Maybe since Amazon is reporting Q3 numbers soon and this will only show up in Q4 numbers?

#834wow I think most of Mulesoft is down, that's pretty significant in my little corner of the tech world.

#837US-East-1 is more than just a normal region. It also provides the backbone for other services, including those in other regions. Thus simply being in another region doesn’t protect you from the consistent us-east-1 shenanigans. AWS doesn’t talk about that much publicly, but if you press them they will admit in private that there are some pretty nasty single points of failure in the design of AWS that can materialize…
There are hints at in their documentation. For example ACM certs for cloudfront and KMS keys for route53 DNSSEC have to be in the us-east1 region.
FWIW, I tried creating a DNSSEC entry for one of my domains during the outage, and it worked just fine.

Re: AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
#839From the great Corey Quinn Ah yes, the great AWS us-east-1 outage. Half the internet’s on fire, engineers haven’t slept in 18 hours, and every self-styled “resilience thought leader” is already posting: “This is why you need multi-cloud, powered by our patented observability synergy platform™.” Shut up, Greg. Your SaaS product doesn’t fix DNS, you're simply adding another dashboard to watch the world burn in higher d…
This wins all the internets today. Probably not a day where internets are particularly valuable, but it wins them nonetheless.

#840That's unusual.
I wss under the impression that having multiple available zones guarantees high availability.
It seems this is not the case.
