A comment on Amazon was down.

AWS seems to be okay via this status dashboard. Nothing on the Amazon twitter feed either [2].

UPDATE: Site appears to be responding now, but there is a maintenance message. AWS dashboard also shows the following updates:

   AWS Management Console: 12:14 PM PDT We are currently experiencing 
   elevated error rates for the AWS Management Console

   Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia): 12:11 PM PDT We are 
   investigating increased API error rates and latencies for tagging 
   related API calls in the US-EAST-1 region.

I've been getting 454 Temporary authentication failure errors from the SES SMTP gateway, which is in US-EAST-1.

Edit: back up for me; SMTP gateway is authenticating and emails are sending out again.

Same here, I don't believe emails are getting sent using SES.

It's not. We're having issues with one of our EC2 instances and this is clearly effecting other sites. It's very unnerving that their service health dashboard isn't reporting any issues.

EDIT: It just now reported an issue on EC2 N. Virginia. Still a little disappointed that it's not real-time.

It could be either certain services limited to Virginia, or certain sites within the region -- my instance is hosted in Virginia, and while very basic, has remained up throughout.

Nothing on the @awscloud twitter either. Really sad support. https://twitter.com/awscloud

AWS Console icon is now red (i.e. Service disruption)
