And I also note that my instances are offline. A customer had called their ISP thinking it was their problem, and their ISP told him that since 4:30 AM PST AWS had a major outage due to an object that struck a data center creating sparks and fire. As a result, the power was shut off to the facility, including backup power. They had no ETA on the outage. I’m in the AZ2 zone. -mel via cell

I can’t even sign into my AWS Console. It says “an AWS account with that sign in information does not exist” when I’ve only put in the email address. Not only is this a fundamental security violation, because you should never disclose that an account doesn’t exist when only the account ID is entered, but it’s plain scary that I can’t get to any of my AWS infrastructure to see what’s going on.

this is affecting managed services like OpenSearch, as well as basic services like EC2.
we are finding that AWS CLI will tell us a resource exists, such as EC2, but we cannot access the resources, e.g. ssh to the instance. ______________________________________________ Outages mailing list outages@outages.org Sign up for an account https://lists.outages.org/accounts/signup/ To subscribe send an email to outages-join@outages.org To unsubscribe send an email to outages-leave@outages.org To contact the list owners outages-owner@outages.org Archives https://lists.outages.org/archives/list/outages@outages.org/
