I was down for approximately three hours this morning. I don't know when this submission was posted, but I made one shortly after discovering the outage myself. Either way, if you're using RDS, even if this didn't affect you, it's discussion-worthy. I was affected, and we're building a not-yet-launched product that allows us the time to consider "Is Amazon really where we want to be?". The more failure I'm aware of, the more informed that decision is.
