Amazon was down

AWS seems to be okay via this status dashboard. Nothing on the Amazon twitter feed either [2].<p>[1] <a href="http://status.aws.amazon.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https://twitter.com/amazon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;amazon</a><p>UPDATE: Site appears to be responding now, but there is a maintenance message. AWS dashboard also shows the following updates:<p><pre><code> AWS Management Console: 12:14 PM PDT We are currently experiencing elevated error rates for the AWS Management Console Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia): 12:11 PM PDT We are investigating increased API error rates and latencies for tagging related API calls in the US-EAST-1 region.</code></pre>

Funny how there is a widely reported problem and everything is green on AWS health check site <a href="http://status.aws.amazon.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;</a>

Sheesh. This makes what, the fourth or fifth time this year so far.. and for an extended period of time to boot. I wonder if this is linked to how they do their deployments, or something else (Everyone has access to deploy to the live site last I heard).

I&#x27;ve been struggling to light up new ec2 instances via the API:<p>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt; &lt;Response&gt;&lt;Errors&gt;&lt;Error&gt;&lt;Code&gt;Unavailable&lt;&#x2F;Code&gt;&lt;Message&gt;The service is unavailable. Please try again shortly.&lt;&#x2F;Message&gt;&lt;&#x2F;Error&gt;&lt;&#x2F;Errors&gt;&lt;RequestID&gt;d063a1f7-9fa9-41bb-8792-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&lt;&#x2F;RequestID&gt;&lt;&#x2F;Response&gt;

If one looks at the intra-day chart of AMZN, you could see the market adjust the pricing of the stock relative to the revenue lost every second due to site down.<p><a href="https://www.google.com/finance?q=amzn&amp;ei=JWwSUuCkE8Lp0QGC5QE;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;finance?q=amzn&amp;ei=JWwSUuCkE8Lp0QGC5QE...</a> compare to SPY, the overall market trend.

Appears to all be back online. - amazon.com = back - aws console = can login and work - SES = queue&#x27;s have cleared

Their indian sites <a href="http://junglee.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;junglee.com</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.in/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.in&#x2F;</a> looks perfectly fine.

AWS console is also down. We can&#x27;t login and others are reporting the same issue. Our hosted instances and infrastructure however is online and functioning.

Everything back to normal now, so far as I can tell.

Amazon.com is still down for me, but <a href="http://www.amazon.de" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.de</a> is running fine.

My EC2 instances are still running fortunately.

Well, AWS console being down is certainly more of an impact to me than amazon.com.

It&#x27;s back: 3:33 EST.

Now the server is returning a 500, which is a slight bit of progress.

I was just able to log in to the console, looks like it&#x27;s back

EC2 is ok for me SES has gone to the shitter

Amazon and AWS Console are back online :)

Amazon site seems to be up now.

Amazon.com is back up for me.
