Ask HN: Is AWS down again?

There's nothing on health.aws.amazon.com but I'm getting reports of performance failure on systems that utilize AWS...

Downdetector is also recording failure reports: https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/

Disclosure, I work for Datadog:

https://updog.ai/status/amazonaws

Looks fine for now.

Piece of UX feedback for the product team behind Updog: company logos are not searchable. It should be easy to Ctrl-F and find a relevant cloud on that detector, instead of scrolling alphabetically.

You all should add EC2 - extra bonus if you have some way of tracking performance in addition to errors (right now we're seeing EC2 instances in us-east-1c not transition out of Pending status).

This is cool, does this actually hit all the services directly (in each region) instead of pulling from AWS Status?

Which uptime checker tool would be based on status pages (owned by the marketing department)? That defeats the whole purpose.

rozenmd7 days ago

I've run a business in this space since 2021, I am yet to meet a business that lets their marketing team own their status page.

You'll find most engineering teams will start owning a status page to centralise updates to their stakeholders, before eventually growing into the customer success/support org owning it to minimise support tickets during incidents.

Marketing has nothing to do with status pages.

I highly doubt AWS health dashboards are owned by marketing

https://updog.ai/status/openai issue history looks terrible. Wonder how you ping openAI for this; with a completion attempt on a particular model?

It is based on the impact on Datadog's customers, not on synthetic queries / pings

From the page:

> API health is inferred by analyzing aggregated and anonymized telemetry from across the Datadog customer base.

Wasn't the first reference to this joke in the office, also is it just me or do I remember this guy from either breaking bad or the office or (both??)

Was his name neil on breaking bad or the office, I think his name was neil in the office, one of the warehouse workers right?

HN is starting to feel like early 2010s Reddit and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

We've been observing EC2 instances launched in us-east-1c (use1-az2) remain in Pending status for a very long time / indefinitely, starting at around 16:00 UTC.

We were seeing ECS Fargate capacity weirdness in us-east-1 earlier.

ENGNR7 days ago

Had some very weird behaviour from cloudfront used purely to serve images from s3. Mostly huge slowdowns and outright failures on endpoints. Was about 15 hours ago that I noticed it by chance.

Was nothing on the aws status pages and no alerts/errors in my console. Eventually it sped up again.

taf25 days ago

We noticed massive latency from cloudfront spent the first part of my day migrating services out.

We are not seeing anything right now... keeping an eye out but things are normal.

I would think that data centers scale up horizontally and a failure of one node should only affect a limited number of customers. Barring any centralized DNS mess up of-course.

danudey7 days ago

I'm currently in the process of spinning up a k8s in us-west-2 and no issues, but, as others have said, us-east-1 is the problem child so I guess we'll see.

matt-p7 days ago

It's wonky for sure, but only to certain IP ranges.

AbhiAmbad6 days ago

Yes, aws was done. I am very irritated with aws now. This is 3rd time. Pricing is also very high…

Thinking to switch to another platform.

nodesocket7 days ago

Don't see any issues in us-east-2 (Ohio) with my infra, but typically issues arise in us-east-1.

paulddraper7 days ago

Down detector is much much higher when there is a real problem.

There might be something, but wouldn’t be widespread.

Johnny5557 days ago

Most of the reports on the downdetector heatmap are coming from the NYC area, that's probably more likely to be a network issue (or even, if you can imagine it, DNS) than a real AWS failure since it's well into business hours on the West Coast.

myidealab7 days ago

I think it may be down, showing early signs based on location services (geofencing) warning.

NoSalt7 days ago

I was thinking the same thing as some sites like Google were taking a LONG time to load.

Johnny5557 days ago

Google probably isn't using AWS for any of their infrastructure.

soupfordummies7 days ago

Internet has been very sluggish for me today too. Something may be going on (not necessarily AWS)

I got a down status on https://leetcode.com/..It may be related.
