Amazon Web Services Downtime Counter
- ollysb 16y agoI'm presuming this only includes downtime since the latest outage began?
- sktrdie 16y agoHow do you guys come up with great web-designing skills even for these simple web pages?
- yuvadam 16y agoI used blueprint in this case. I have a good history with it, and it always gives me clean, crisp results.
- PStamatiou 16y agoAttention to typography itself can lead to some pretty compelling designs. As Cameron Moll once said, great designers use typography/text as a UI element.

- forwardslash 16y agoIronically this page is down for me.
- yuvadam 16y agoProbably DNS hasn't propagated yet. You can use http://goo.gl/rY6cz http://goo.gl/rY6cz
- forwardslash 16y agoThat works, many thanks.
- jdp23 16y agoIs the percentage right? AWS went down about 30 hours ago, and in the Seattle area we're 111 days + 7 hours into the year. so by my calculations, it's closer to 98.9% than 99.66...% Or did I make a mistake?
- yuvadam 16y agoThe calculation is an inclusive, yearly, uptime percentage. This is assuming no other downtime will occur during 2011. Additionally, this percentage is adequate for the 365-subsequent-days credit calculation. It doesn't matter at which 365-day window you look, my calculation assumes no other downtime has occurred, nor will occur.
- jdp23 16y agoGot it. If that's what you're reporting, then you might want slightly different language: "have been up" is past tense, so implied (at least to me) that you were just talking about year-to-date.
- yuvadam 16y agoFair enough, will rephrase. Thanks!
- lobster_johnson 16y agoFor the purposes of claiming service credits from Amazon, the percentage given on your page is not necessarily useful. Amazon's uptime guarantee applies to the trailing 365 days. You can claim those service credits at any time. Thus, if Amazon had an incident 2 months ago and have another incident now, then your own window is the range [now - 1.year, now] and you figure that this calculates to a 99.8% downtime for you and claim your credit. Your percentage then necessarily goes to zero because your window restarts. But for everyone else who doesn't claim a credit, the window continues to roll forward.
- mattdawson 16y agoHow on earth is this number actually being calculated? I'm an AWS customer and all of my ec2 EBS instances are up and running - and that's in us-east-1b, which is IIRC where this outage occurred.
- yuvadam 16y agoYour us-east-1b is not other customers us-east-1b. Availability zones are permuted randomly for each customer. Nonetheless, just because you haven't been affected, doesn't mean other have not been, or still aren't.
- bgentry 16y agoI really wish they would have picked another way to deal with the fact that people write crappy software that only launches in "1a" and "1b". They dealt with the resulting capacity imbalances by randomly remapping AZs for new accounts, but AFAIK they're never publicly acknowledged this so most people aren't aware. Instead they should have just started charging more for resources requested explicitly in those zones until people fixed their poorly written software.
- bdr 16y agoThey've explained how it works from the beginning.

- mattdawson 16y agoRight, I understand that. But it seems irresponsible to suggest - as I think this site does - that the entirety of AWS has the uptime you're advertising.
- 16y ago
- keithba 16y agoI'm missing something - hours since the start of the year: 2671. Hours of uptime: 2641. That lead to a downtime calc of 98.88 or so. *edited for language clarity. Gah! Original sentence above implied that downtime was 2641.
- snorkel 16y agoI'm AWS! I'm cloudy, I'm bursty, and I'm rocking two nines!
- tommoor 16y agourgh, why not make something useful.
- akl 16y agoOne might point out that "AWS" isn't down, EC2 in VA is entirely broken for a certain notable section of customers.
- molecule 16y agoI applaud the notion, but the implementation is atrocious hyberpole: - simple javascript algebra that does not monitor or report any status data? - equating the entirety of AWS w/ one region of EBS-backed EC2 instances is hyperbole that does not contribute to the discussion.
