Amazon US-EAST-1 Region Down?

Can’t reach our instances… this is what the Dashboard says: 10:38 AM PDT We are currently investigating degraded performance for a small number of EBS volumes in a single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 Region. 11:11 AM PDT We can confirm degraded performance for a small number of EBS volumes in a single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 Region. Instances using affected EBS volumes will also experience degraded performance. 11:26 AM PDT We are currently experiencing degraded performance for EBS volumes in a single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 Region. New launches for EBS backed instances are failing and instances using affected EBS volumes will experience degraded performance. Best Regards, Ivan Star Telecom | www.startelecom.ca

That probably explains why I've seen access to the IPv6 version of Netflix timing out on and off since 12:47 pm Central.

FWIW Our EBS-backed instances in US-EAST-1C and US-EAST-1D are online and accessible at this time. I can't speak for A or B. -- Ben

The labels 1c, 1d, etc aren't uniform across accounts. 1d for you might be 1a for me. On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 2:51 PM, Ben Carleton <ben@bencarleton.com> wrote:

same here 1b down.

As a point of information - my consulting company has many clients, many of whom have AWS presence in US-EAST-1, including the client I am at right now. Our consultants chatting about it are seeing issues throughout US-EAST-1, some problems in -1A, -1B, -1C, -1D at least. Earlier reports that it might only be some fraction of those seem wrong. -- -george william herbert george.herbert@gmail.com

Just to remind people, Amazon availability zones are *not* universally named. Your -1A is not necessarily the same as mine. I.e. it could easily be only one AZ but appearing under every for different accounts. I don't have an iron-clad cite here but: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#How_can_I_make_sure_that_I_am_in_the_same_Av...

Not sure if anyone bothered to read my earlier message, but different accounts see the same zones with different labels. So zone 'x' will be seen as a by some, b by others, c by some, etc. On Oct 22, 2012 4:14 PM, "George Herbert" <george.herbert@gmail.com> wrote:
