Still doesn’t explain the cause of all the IAM permission denied requests we saw against policies which are again working fine without any intervention.

Obviously networking issues can cause any number of symptoms but it seems like an unusual detail to leave out to me. Unless it was another ongoing outage happening at the same time.

It’s so hard to know what was the state of the system when the monitoring was out. Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t have the data to investigate it now.

how are auth requests supposed to reach the auth server if the networking is broken?

I’d accept this as an answer if I received a timeout or a message to say that.

Permission denied is something altogether because it implies the request reached an authorisation system, was evaluated and denied.

Fail-secure + no separate error for timeouts maybe? If the server can't be reached then it just denies the request.
