Are the actual services down, or is it just the console and/or login page? For example, the sign-up page appears to be working: https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup#/start Are websites that run on AWS us-east up? Are the AWS CLIs working?

Using cli to describe instances isn't working. Instances themselves seem fine so far.

This got me thinking, are there any major chat services that would go down if a particular AWS/GCP/etc data centre went down? You don't want your service to go down, plus your team's comms at the same time.

You should multi region something like that.

EC2 or S3 showing red in any region literally requires personal approval of the CEO of AWS.

Uhhhhh... what if the monitoring said it was hard down? They'd still not show red?

Probably they cannot. They outsourced this dashboard and it runs on AWS now ;).

Most of our services in us-east-1 are still responding although we cannot log into the console. However, it looks like dynamodb is timing out most requests for us.

My ECS, EC2, Lambda, load balancer, and other services on us-east-1 still function. But these outages can sometimes propagate over time rather than instantly.

I cannot access the admin console.

Anecdotally, we're seeing a small number of 500s from S3 and SQS, but mostly our service (which is at nontrivial scale, but mostly just uses EC2, S3, DynamoDB, and some basic network facilities including load balancers) seems fine, knock on wood. Either the problem is primarily in more complex services, or it is specific to certain AZs or shards or something.

Is this true or a joke? This sort of policy is how you destroy trust.

maybe we gotta consider the publicly facing status pages as something other than a technical tool (e.g. marketing or PR or something like that, dunno)
