Amazon Web Services Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • QuinnyPig Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported

    So realtalk time: @awscloud employees *CANNOT* be glib about today’s issues, and mostly can’t say anything at all. Their customers are hurting, and that weighs on them. Tomorrow is a better day. #hugops

  • IrishSBender Irish South Bender (@IrishSBender) reported

    @BrandonRich @awscloud That's a fair point. For my team, aws just results in issues that didn't exist when we hosted our own servers. Problems there take down our systems

  • RandyShore Randy Shore (@RandyShore) reported

    2020 - where the @awscloud outage affects whether I can actually turn on the lights on my 🎄. Certainly wouldn’t have called this one.

  • steveplatz Steve Platz (@steveplatz) reported

    @HeySmalls @amazon AWS had some major issues today. I don’t know if they host there, but that could have been the root cause.

  • jhulten Jeffrey Hulten (@jhulten) reported

    @QuinnyPig @nathaniel_avery @awscloud The second half is the way AWS relies on its services to provide its services. We saw this in the DynamoDB outage that impacted multiple services about five years ago. We don't know what dependencies are until things break.

  • jhulten Jeffrey Hulten (@jhulten) reported

    @QuinnyPig @nathaniel_avery @awscloud That their stack doesn't fall over ALL THE TIME is a testimonial to the product quality, and nothing improves an AWS products quality like a public outage.

  • mandarbehere Mandar (@mandarbehere) reported

    Is @awscloud outage affecting @fitbit too? @FitbitSupport #awsoutage

  • DerekDaczewitz Derek Daczewitz (@DerekDaczewitz) reported

    @QuinnyPig @gracey_andrew @awscloud This is the longest AWS outage I've witnessed over the years. I'll be sad if there's not a public retro on today's situation.

  • scmunk Ron Parker (@scmunk) reported

    Cant wait to hear all the @awscloud trash talk from the armchair architects. Broken Regions have always been a possibility and have been realized a time or two. I dont know of too many companies that can event pull off something even close to AZ availability much less a Region.

  • davisinst Davis Instruments (@davisinst) reported

    @RalfSchmoll @HDmeteo_com An Amazon AWS outage is currently impacting WeatherLink, so you may be having issues receiving current sensor data. We are actively working with AWS to restore service. We apologize for the inconvenience.

  • stdunbar Scott Dunbar (@stdunbar) reported

    Hey @Walmart - if you need someone who can design a system that isn't constantly throwing 429 errors under load, give me a PM. "Oh deer" is getting old. It will involve @awscloud but it's got to be better than the '386 you have sitting under a desk somewhere in Arkansas.

  • michaelkkehoe Michael Kehoe (@michaelkkehoe) reported

    Yes @awscloud was down a long time, it still doesn't justify a multi-cloud strategy. However, it does clearly show who doesn't have a multi-region DR strategy 🧐😳😱

  • PapalPenguin Derek Graham aka PapalPenguin on Stadia (@PapalPenguin) reported

    @BryanEVOLVED and there is a current @AWSSupport issue which is causing the @amazonluna controller to not connect, I was so planning to game today. I know I can via Bluetooth but its not the same :(

  • TarynAbercromb3 ⚜️Taryn⚜️ (@TarynAbercromb3) reported

    @AWSSupport I can’t do my college tests cuz my webcam is down wtf

  • EZCANES 🙌EZ🙌 (@EZCANES) reported

    Does anyone have @ring devices? Seems they are having an outage via @awscloud services...

  • PeterJimAU Peter Jim (@PeterJimAU) reported

    "Quick, I want to get this out to production before I leave for #Thanksgiving2020" is what I imagine was said before this took down half the internet. Congrats @awscloud! #awsdown

  • TRISTANvsTEE Tristan Haynes (@TRISTANvsTEE) reported from Pass Christian, Mississippi

    @Carnage4Life @DaGraduate06 How u feeling about this.? Amazon AWS goes down now u can’t vacuum or the door bell won’t work..lol 📡

  • davisinst Davis Instruments (@davisinst) reported

    @ISchaeffer Yes, Ira. An Amazon AWS outage is currently impacting WeatherLink, so you may be having issues receiving current sensor data. We are actively working with AWS to restore service. We apologize for the inconvenience.

  • matteing Sergio Mattei 🇵🇷 (@matteing) reported

    @LoppGucchio us-east-1 is the most popular Amazon AWS region. AWS is a cloud hosting service by Amazon. It went down and half the web goes out with it haha

  • mliebow Michael Liebow ☁️ (@mliebow) reported

    @AWSSupport where’s the US East outage report?

  • FingalNancy Nancy - 🐐 🏆 🐬⬆️ (@FingalNancy) reported

    @EZCANES @ring @awscloud Not having issues with ours

  • tasha_tw Tasha (@tasha_tw) reported

    CANNOT BELIEVE THE AMAZON AWS IS DOWN I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AMAZONING SOMETHING IMPORTANT

  • punishedfolk Punished Folklore (@punishedfolk) reported

    @heywildrich their electrdomestics work by being connected to the amazon aws servers when server is down they don't work

  • ironiridis Chris Harrington (the feral swine bomb incarnate) (@ironiridis) reported

    @QuinnyPig @HonestAustralia @awscloud ie the cost of implementing and maintaining your product three times versus once, balancing and redirecting hits to your API and tunneling data, creating a runbook to cover all three platforms and coordinating DR for any single outage, is much higher than a few hours of downtime.

  • ambawnl amba (@ambawnl) reported

    @KonaG_ those are two different server pings, ookla doesnt ping amazon aws servers

  • 4phuxsakes 🇺🇲President-Elect Sean🇺🇲 (@4phuxsakes) reported

    @awscloud You're causing outages with Ring and no comment? What is going on and when will issues be fixed? This is getting ridiculous!

  • bklau2006 BK Lau (@bklau2006) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Hope they get their cloud outage report out in time.

  • V_anquished President Elect V (@V_anquished) reported

    🚨🚨🚨 Amazon AWS is offline. NYC subway had to shut down routes due to web services down. #CyberPandemic

  • 2letters2words 2 Letters+2 Words Cheeky Bastard (@2letters2words) reported from Frisco, Texas

    @awscloud Really? Nothing? No update on your outage affect tons of services?

  • koblas david koblas (@koblas) reported

    When somebody asks if an @awscloud outage will decrease revenue? Most orgs will end up with a mandate to increase reliability by being multi region, easier to do with one provider than spinning up new expertise. So IMHO outages will only increase AWS spend.
