Slack Incident Resolved – Degraded service affecting multiple features
- breakfastduck 6y agoEU west 2 AWS has been having issues this morning. We've had a load of outages ourselves, they could be experiencing something similar.
- buggeryorkshire 6y agoYup, we've had Aurora issues that are ongoing there.
- Deathmax 6y agoFrom London, Slack was resolving to a load balancer in eu-west-2 earlier during the outage. It now resolves to eu-west-1 and I have no issues connecting to Slack. $ nslookup edgeapi.slack.com Server: 1.1.1.1 Address: 1.1.1.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: edgeapi.slack.com canonical name = prod-haproxy-edge-nlb-eip-038c466f971aa8b8.elb.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com.

- jon-wood 6y agoWe just saw a flurry of IoT devices losing connectivity to eu-west-2 as well, all seems to have recovered now though.
- lazharichir 6y agoAWS Status page[1] shows a couple of issues in eu-west-2. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (London) Instance Connectivity 3:21 AM PDT We are investigating instance connectivity issues in a single Availability Zone (euw2-az2) in the EU-WEST-2 Region. Amazon Relational Database Service (London) Small number of instances unavailable in a single Availability Zone 3:36 AM PDT We are investigating connectivity issues affecting some instances in a single Availability Zone (euw2-az2) in the EU-WEST-2 Region.

- dkarp 6y agoI don't quite understand this. Aren't the availability zones denoted by a letter? My Aurora instances are in eu-west-2a/eu-west-2b/eu-west-2c, so what is euw2-az2?
- romeo88 6y agoRTFM
- arpinum 6y agoThe letters are different per-account.
- dkarp 6y agothanks, first time seeing that
- surfer7837 6y agoIt's so the load is evenly distributed across AZs because I bet most people just select -az-1.
- tedk-42 6y agoAs another commenters mentioned, the AZ letter different per account.
- asymptotic 6y agohttps://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/working-with-az-ids.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/working-wit... “To identify the location of your resources relative to your accounts, you must use the AZ ID, which is a unique and consistent identifier for an Availability Zone. For example, use1-az1 is an AZ ID for the us-east-1 Region and it is the same location in every AWS account” So each separate AWS account will have a different AZ name that maps to use1-az1, but use1-az1 is a region-wide constant.
- surfer7837 6y agoAll most instances in London are down
- sschueller 6y agoWhat are good current open source (self-hostable) alternatives? I have the following: [1] https://rocket.chat/ https://rocket.chat/ (Works well, sadly the mobile client is no longer native and it shows) [2] https://matrix.org/ https://matrix.org/ (More IM than workgroup chat) [3] https://mattermost.com/ https://mattermost.com/
- trymas 6y agohttps://zulip.com/ https://zulip.com/
- Legogris 6y agoJust curious what makes you feel Matrix is more IM than workgroup chat? What's missing or different to be suitable for you? I've actually heard several people have the inverse sentiment ("Matrix is more group chat and channels than IM")
- Arathorn 6y agoMatrix is a protocol - you’re probably thinking of https://element.io https://element.io (formerly Riot.im)? If anything, Element is more workgroup than IM (but there are other Matrix clients which are more IM than workgroup).
- achempion 6y agoThe funny thing about theirs website is cookie notice. Either they didn't read GDPR (which is unlikely), because you don't have to ask consent for "We use cookies to avoid showing you duplicate content, ..." or they're trying to get sneaky. You have to obtain consent if your pass data to third parties but again, what is the point of advertising privacy on the page then. You wouldn't see the cookie's consent on the apple website.
- Steltek 6y agoPresuming the banner on this https://element.io/ https://element.io/ I had the same understanding as you but if you read https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ , you may come away differently. Specifically, with regards to "strictly necessary cookies" like these, it says: > While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user. The page is just an overview however and it doesn't state where you need to explain to users what the "strictly necessary" cookies do.
- maga20yes 6y agoIs Slack ever up?
- negamax 6y agoWas Zoom outage yesterday related to this? AWS has become sort of a single point of failure
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoWhy doesn't Slack fall over to another AZ?
- buggeryorkshire 6y agoThey did eventually, the ingress point was originally eu-west-2 but got changed to eu-west-1
- jrott 6y agoI thought Zoom had moved to Oracle cloud.
- huhtenberg 6y agoBack to back with the Zoom outage no less.
- hellofunk 6y agoAnd the gmail attachment outage.
- kome 6y agoDon't Put All your Eggs in One Basket (AWS)
- simonbarker87 6y agoImages on our site haven’t been loading for customers most of the day, related to this. This doesn’t explain why slack has been generally terrible most of August though.
- aloisdg 6y agoHumble guess, some people don't work during holidays
- abhay07 6y agoAnyone else thinks slack web version is very slow ?
