Amazon EC2 issue - cannot provision new servers
- amirnathoo 18y agoIs anyone else affected by this? WebMynd is currently running very slowly because we can't provision new EC2 instances. To handle daily variations in load we usually double the number of webservers between midday and 3pm GMT. Despite a number of messages in their forum, Amazon don't appear to have noticed yet as their status dashboard shows no issue: http://status.aws.amazon.com/ http://status.aws.amazon.com/
- cperciva 18y agoHave you submitted the "Report an issue" form from the status dashboard? Amazon doesn't have people reading their forums all the time (especially on the weekend), but always looks at issues reported via the status dashboard promptly -- there have been several instances when issues have sat in the forums for hours without any response but then been fixed within minutes of me reporting the problem via the dashboard.
- amirnathoo 18y agoI've tried that as well. No response so far. We haven't paid for Premium Support so I don't think there is anything else to do at present.
- amirnathoo 18y agoElastic IP addresses are also flaky right now. But I have worked around the issue by specifiying a particular availability zone when provisioning a new instance: ec2-run-instances $LATEST_AMI -k gsg-webmynd -t m1.large --availability-zone us-east-1b "us-east-1b" does not appear to be affected by the problem
