It sounds like their systems design interviews aren’t rigorous enough.

I'm guessing lots of people fled us-east-1 for us-west-2, after the last outage, and overwhelmed something there.

Seems like ever since Microsoft bought AWS, it's been going down an awful lot.

It's not just AWS - check the down reports: https://downdetector.com/ Cloudflare having some significant issues as well on certain domains.

The list of affected services is a bit all over the place, especially since I highly doubt Xbox Live or Halo is running on AWS.

Yes, seeing it too.

Seems to be down in a major way. Lots of various AWS services are down. However, so many things depend on AWS that it could just be EC2 is down and it is causing a rippling affect.

Too bad I am unable to load the status page due to connection timeouts, so I can't see the updates.
