Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wonder why Amazon is not using Cloudfront for their own website.

Yeah, this is what makes me feel this is more an AWS thing

It sure looks like a AWS error, even Amazon.com is mostly down.

Bitwarden is also down (the Web Vault, not the website).

My self hosted bitwarden is fine, as are all my self hosted sites.

Why is this a link to the Fastly homepage, where absolutely no information is provided? This is the page that should be linked: https://status.fastly.com

Because even their homepage is down intermittently/for some people.
