Ask HN: Is AWS down again?
There's nothing on health.aws.amazon.com but I'm getting reports of performance failure on systems that utilize AWS...
Downdetector is also recording failure reports: https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/
- nodesocket 1y agoDon't see any issues in us-east-2 (Ohio) with my infra, but typically issues arise in us-east-1.

- danudey 1y agoI'm currently in the process of spinning up a k8s in us-west-2 and no issues, but, as others have said, us-east-1 is the problem child so I guess we'll see.
- paulddraper 1y agoDown detector is much much higher when there is a real problem. There might be something, but wouldn’t be widespread.
- Johnny555 1y agoMost of the reports on the downdetector heatmap are coming from the NYC area, that's probably more likely to be a network issue (or even, if you can imagine it, DNS) than a real AWS failure since it's well into business hours on the West Coast. https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/map/ https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/map/
- tdubey 1y agoDisclosure, I work for Datadog: https://updog.ai/status/amazonaws https://updog.ai/status/amazonaws Looks fine for now.
- nodesocket 1y agoThis is cool, does this actually hit all the services directly (in each region) instead of pulling from AWS Status?
- dewey 1y agoWhich uptime checker tool would be based on status pages (owned by the marketing department)? That defeats the whole purpose.

- kylecazar 1y agoI highly doubt AWS health dashboards are owned by marketing
- rozenmd 1y agoI've run a business in this space since 2021, I am yet to meet a business that lets their marketing team own their status page. You'll find most engineering teams will start owning a status page to centralise updates to their stakeholders, before eventually growing into the customer success/support org owning it to minimise support tickets during incidents. Marketing has nothing to do with status pages.
- port3000 1y agohttps://updog.ai/status/openai https://updog.ai/status/openai issue history looks terrible. Wonder how you ping openAI for this; with a completion attempt on a particular model?
- arbll 1y agoIt is based on the impact on Datadog's customers, not on synthetic queries / pings
- matt-p 1y agoIt's wonky for sure, but only to certain IP ranges.
- anshumankmr 1y agoI got a down status on https://leetcode.com/..It https://leetcode.com/..It may be related.

- myidealab 1y agoI think it may be down, showing early signs based on location services (geofencing) warning.

- NoSalt 1y agoI was thinking the same thing as some sites like Google were taking a LONG time to load.
- Johnny555 1y agoGoogle probably isn't using AWS for any of their infrastructure.
- soupfordummies 1y agoInternet has been very sluggish for me today too. Something may be going on (not necessarily AWS)
- jacobwg 1y agoWe've been observing EC2 instances launched in us-east-1c (use1-az2) remain in Pending status for a very long time / indefinitely, starting at around 16:00 UTC.
- everfrustrated 1y agoWe were seeing ECS Fargate capacity weirdness in us-east-1 earlier.
- Alexbilyy77 1y ago[dead]
- ENGNR 1y agoHad some very weird behaviour from cloudfront used purely to serve images from s3. Mostly huge slowdowns and outright failures on endpoints. Was about 15 hours ago that I noticed it by chance. Was nothing on the aws status pages and no alerts/errors in my console. Eventually it sped up again.
- taf2 1y agoWe noticed massive latency from cloudfront spent the first part of my day migrating services out.
- silktson 1y agostill slow down
- bwb 1y agoI'm Ben from https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ We are not seeing anything right now... keeping an eye out but things are normal.
- farseer 1y agoI would think that data centers scale up horizontally and a failure of one node should only affect a limited number of customers. Barring any centralized DNS mess up of-course.
- AbhiAmbad 1y agoYes, aws was done. I am very irritated with aws now. This is 3rd time. Pricing is also very high… Thinking to switch to another platform.
