Parts of AWS are down

DDos against amazon's DNS servers. One mitigation is to use regional endpoints for bucket hosting if your website relies on serving assets - i e foo-bucket.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com instead foo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com

We manually updated our `/etc/hosts` file with the static ip for our S3 bucket(s) and that fixed the issue temporarily.

Glad to hear the issue is on Amazon's side. Our team panicked and tried to find every way to resolve this thinking it was possibly a misconfiguration at our end. I hope it's resolved soon. We're receiving complains from many users who are unable to upload their work due to this issue, I will let them know Amazon is on it.

Seeing major issues here as well. All my modules were not working for the majority of the day and all images were not displaying. This is no doubt a Ddoss attack, I just don&#x27;t see any other reason that the entire east coast AWS DNS servers would just stop responding all of a sudden. If the issue is not fixed by tomorrow our IT guy is gonna have a damn field day implementing all the temporary mitigation&#x27;s.
