It is baffling that the Europe tab for AWS' Status page posts timestamps in PST. What the fuck is PST?<p>We have the ability to do everything and anything in Javascript EXCEPT for fucking UTC or localized time zones.<p>Is PST the new UTC? Is there an RFC for this? Did I miss the memo?<p>Un-fucking-real.
This is a non-issue.<p>"We are experiencing elevated API error rates and network connectivity errors in a single Availability Zone."<p>Key fact "A SINGLE AZ". Availability Zone's are isolated from each other with redundant power supplies and internet connectivity and most often physically different datacenter locations. Well architected applications are designed to allow for a single AZ to become unavailable. This is precisely why the cloud is useful: you can bring up new capacity in the other Availability Zones behind the same load balancer with zero effort - the autoscaling does that for you automatically.
We were affected with one of our marketing pages that we migrated to ECS in a non-HA configuration, our main applications are setup in Multi-AZ HA Configs and weren't affected by this.<p>Not a big deal to remediate as all the other AZs are working.
Looks like this took down TransferWise (debit card/forex/payments processor): <a href="https://status.transferwise.com" rel="nofollow">https://status.transferwise.com</a>
I wonder if this is related to TransferWise issues, their app and even card payments have been down all morning.<p><a href="https://twitter.com/TransferWise/status/1194168200210124800?s=20" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/TransferWise/status/1194168200210124800?...</a>
