Amazon EC2 currently down. Affecting Heroku, Reddit, Others

Per the linked dashboard, some instances in a single AZ in a single Region are having storage issues. Calling EC2 "down" is a bit dramatic, provided AMZN are being sincere with their status reports. Any system that can competently fail over to another AZ will be unaffected.

It's degraded performance for some EBS volumes in a single availability zone - isn't this title a bit sensationalistic?

No. Amazon just understates the issues. Reddit, Heroku etc. all have problems.

Amazon is downplaying the problem. It is affecting many large sites.
