The only ones that you're likely to encounter are IAM, Route53, and the billing console. The billing console outage for a few hours is hardly a problem. IAM and Route53 are statically stable and designed to be mostly stand-alone. They are working fine right now, btw.
During this outage, my infrastructure on AWS is working just fine, simply because it's outside of us-east-1.

Ironically, our observability provider went down.
