Looks like AWS has taken a hit in East (Virginia). EC2 outages is what we're seeing here, no word yet on other services. Amazon has yet to confirm this, but Twitter is all… atwitter, about it. -- Corey / KB1JWQ

Corey: I'm seeing what looks like communications failures amongst EC2 instances in us1east. The instances themselves do not appear affected (no lost instances or reboots) just IP traffic. It also seems to have settled down now substantially. 73, Mike / N4OEY ************************** This email composed on my iPhone 4 whilst driving at 90 MPH with my knees.

Indeed. Looks to have stabilized now; I was seeing trace routes die a couple hops out from my east instances. What was interesting is that Twitter reacted before Amazon's status page did. Makes me wonder if that's a monitoring failure on Amazon's part, or a more cynical "Let's not tell them we're down and see if they notice" position. Back to bed I go. -- Corey / KB1JWQ On Mar 15, 2012, at 2:52 AM, Michael R. Self wrote:

Around a week ago, I had (non-fatal) connectivity issues for hours in the US-WEST-1 region across multiple unrelated instances that I actually reported to them, and it still never made it to their status page. Similar but more fatal problems then reoccurred the next day, and those finally made it to their status page after about a 30 minute delay. I really wish they would release some sort of postmortem about these sort of things, rather than just the generic "connectivity issues" we get on their status page. I could certainly speculate about what sort of issues they wouldn't want to disclose (e.g., successful attacks on AWS infrastructure), but speculation often leads to the wrong answer when you don't have proper information. -- Darius Jahandarie
