The icon got yellow. I repeat: YELLOW

It only goes red when a nuclear event occurs, obliterating most of humanity and only the machines remain.

That would actually turn it green again, I think.

Seems Hasicorp is maybe affected by this as well.

    $ vagrant up
    Bringing machine '...' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> ...: Box 'debian/jessie64' could not be found.
    ...
    ...: Downloading: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/debian/boxes/jessie64/versions/8.1.0/providers/virtualbox.box
    An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try again.

Ya, it bothers me that their status messages for major outages are simply "elevated error rates".

Whats frustrating is when you have customers who are also down because of the outage - but when you say Amazon is experiencing severe outages causing 50% of our requests to be dropped and there's not much we can do, it makes us look pretty bad when they they go to the amazon dashboard and only see "Elevated Error Rates."

"Elevated Error rates" probably does not qualify as breach of their SLA

I'm also having issues connecting to buckets based in Ireland (eu-west-1). Just hangs at authentication stage. Tried from 3 different internet connections, all having the same problem.

Ditto. API does not answer at all, latency is high and customers are not amused. Outage has lasted for hours already.

edit; does not seem to affect all the buckets though. Only one of ours is experiencing this, others are fine.

Can't pull docker images from the hub either, and their statuspage currently shows S3-problems: https://status.docker.com/

http://status.docker.com/ - they are "Investigating issue with high load", now yellow, but was red before.

Can't pull any images either.

I started receiving lots of alerts from my side project https://StatusGator.io which monitors status pages. It's astonishing to me how many services depend on AWS directly or indirectly.

  [3:25] AM PDT We are still working through our recovery plan.

Man, I'd love to see that plan.

As it has happened before, Amazon AWS status page is lying to us.

S3 is in yellow, which means "performance issues". But not being able to download files from many buckets it's clearly a "service disruption" (red).

The most ironic thing I've seen in a while: Their homepage features icons of services they monitor. Many of them 503-fail - they are hosted on cloudfront.

It is actually possible if you keep trying.
