AWS seems to be okay via this status dashboard. Nothing on the Amazon twitter feed either [2].

UPDATE: Site appears to be responding now, but there is a maintenance message. AWS dashboard also shows the following updates:

   AWS Management Console: 12:14 PM PDT We are currently experiencing 
   elevated error rates for the AWS Management Console

   Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia): 12:11 PM PDT We are 
   investigating increased API error rates and latencies for tagging 
   related API calls in the US-EAST-1 region.

AWS console is also down. We can't login and others are reporting the same issue. Our hosted instances and infrastructure however is online and functioning.

Sheesh. This makes what, the fourth or fifth time this year so far.. and for an extended period of time to boot. I wonder if this is linked to how they do their deployments, or something else (Everyone has access to deploy to the live site last I heard).
