Our EC2 instances in us-east-1 didn't actually go down. But IT engineering was completely disrupted because our SSH login mechanism relies on the API to show you the list of instances for you to select which one to start an IAM handshake with. Our support phone line was also down. Even SQS kept chugging along just fine. I'm actually glad we're not on Lambda because of this.
