  • heyyyyjay heyyyyjay (@heyyyyjay) reported

    wth guys. you wasted my time. Didnt even bother informing the end users that the resource is broken. isnt this ironic? didnt even bother putting an error msg earlier. @awscloud @AWSSupport

  • ScottHardman Scott Hardman (@ScottHardman) reported

    @AWSSupport We used both the old and new consoles on Safari and Chrome. Both resulted in errors with your API/resources and were unable to open a case. Perhaps this is a strategy to force us to purchase a premium support plan. Congrats it worked but shame on AWS

  • mortman David (@mortman) reported

    @petecheslock @QuinnyPig @awscloud It’s a good question. I should make my own. I’m terrible at sewing so that might incentive the creation of an official one

  • Ngumbau Kris Kibwana Kivutha 😷🧼 (@Ngumbau) reported

    @theashishnanda @AWSAmplify @awscloud Good stuff.....going through the docs. Especially Datastore for offline and online scenarios. Many use cases for rural areas where connectivity is a problem.

  • jondthompson Jon Thompson (@jondthompson) reported

    @awscloud I can't login to my workspace on my mac (big sur). The application crashes when it tries to load the window.

  • iamwcr Wayne Robinson (@iamwcr) reported

    @andreaswittig @AWSSupport Still having problems with SNS to HTTP? We’ve noticed our rate limits are now basically being ignored, showing 7x the throughput we specify.

  • cloudbart Cloud Bart (@cloudbart) reported

    @AWSSupport - Are there known issues using Amazon Linux 2 to connect to RDS MySQL using command line mysql client? I'm going crazy trying to get IAM Auth for MySQL to work, keep getting these errors: mysql: unknown option '--enable-cleartext-plugin' Can connect with/out SSL

  • lastsov Justin (@lastsov) reported

    Got @awscloud Cognito signin and sign up working with @reactjs. What are people's experiences with this kind of setup? Things you'd do differently if given the chance? #React

  • networkvisionit Network Vision.it (@networkvisionit) reported

    @unlayerapp It looks like it is not working anymore when we try to upload an image (we have a dedicated Amazon AWS Storage S3, correctly configured). Thanks in advance

  • andreaswittig Andreas Wittig (@andreaswittig) reported

    @iamwcr @AWSSupport Did not watch into SNS throttling limits closely. Our main problem was, that messages have been delayed. We will most likely not notice, if the throttling does not work correctly. Hopefully, @otaviofff can help you out!

  • milesward miles ward (@milesward) reported

    @QuinnyPig @daiwaka @awscloud You are right that one issue is marketing; another is problem analysis. Most folks suspect that for their problem there is a most efficient/easy/safe option, but the provider can’t be trusted to do that analysis without bias.

  • DavidSHolz David Holz (@DavidSHolz) reported

    @ghostbunnyjedi @olorinhenderson I don't think it's accurate to say that ARM is not sophisticated. If it's replacing Intel in Mac products and starting to power Amazon AWS server scale systems then it's pretty advanced.

  • amishmhatre1993 Amish Mhatre (@amishmhatre1993) reported

    @AWSSupport @AWSSupport : Also I personally feel that the another link your team shared in above reply, to get in touch with support without sign-in, should be actually used in error message shown to me during sign-up, as I am yet to create an account.

  • brettrudd brett (@brettrudd) reported

    finally parler is back! the site is slow, have they considered using @awscloud - they have a free tier.

  • TeriRadichel Teri Radichel #cloudsecurity #cybersecurity (@TeriRadichel) reported

    @AWSSupport Thanks, but I’m not asking how to write a policy. I’m asking why the permission I specified is not in the AWS managed billing policies. Perhaps it is and there’s just some glitch in my account because I’m getting permissions errors.

  • cs_rescue CrowdSource Rescue (@cs_rescue) reported

    Having @awscloud issues, the site is down temporarily. Our auto-scale group will kick on in short order and have us back up. Give it 1 - 3 minutes then try again.

  • DinisCruz Dinis Cruz (@DinisCruz) reported

    @AWSSupport part of the reason this is so important, is because after making changes to an IAM role: - AWS will throw 403 errors (unauthorized) when the role/permission was correctly setup, but the permissions have not been propagated to STS (and other systems) - CloudTrail is not real-time

  • orensr Oren Sreebny (@orensr) reported

    @awscloud signed up for a server less with python webinar. Got a GoToWebinar link. Doesn’t work on my iPad and mistakenly ids it as MacOS Catalina. Doesn’t work on either Firefox or Safari on my Mac. The help link provides no useful help. What the heck?

  • ipxe iPXE (@ipxe) reported

    @awscloud Getting 503 errors for the EC2 GetConsoleScreenshot endpoint in every region at the moment - is this a known outage?

  • iamfilipe Filipe Aleixo Builds Freedom (@iamfilipe) reported

    @AWSSupport Hey, thanks for reaching out! Having trouble setting up a nodejs server on Elastic Beanstalk using HTTPS. Wasn't aware that there was a forum, but I'll try to ask my question there.

  • Zingaya Justin (@Zingaya) reported

    @AWSSupport To clarify, there's a log in the new UI but instead of errors with a task id +message like "Fetching secret data from SSM Parameter Store in us-east-1: invalid parameters: your_key_here", it's a less clear "service yourService is unable to consistently start tasks successfully."

  • simoncrosby Simon Crosby (@simoncrosby) reported

    Crazy idea - people before profit: every SaaS and IaaS provider in Texas should shut down Datacenters to free up power @Microsoft @awscloud @googlecloud Etc

  • asheliahut Ashley Hutson (@asheliahut) reported

    Oh fun 3am @awscloud outage for atleast us-east-1. I really wish their status page got updated faster. It really is a nightmare every time something like this happens.

  • StonkBadonka BadonkaStonk (@StonkBadonka) reported

    The only #dogecoin issue I’m worried about today is what my Amazon AWS bill is going to look like in a month. I’m also going to drop a node for #Ethereum and #Litecoin into the mix basically mirroring my holdings.

  • amishmhatre1993 Amish Mhatre (@amishmhatre1993) reported

    @AWSSupport Tried with Chrome and Firefox browsers from my PC and also tried using chrome from my Android. Seems it is showing same error on all browsers. I can try with Microsoft Edge, but yeah Edge is nothing but developed on Chromium, so won't be different that of chrome.

  • ChrisBreaks_ CHRIS-19 (@ChrisBreaks_) reported

    @BirdmanTfg @awscloud Any AWS ML I'm down to ****** in.

  • iamwcr Wayne Robinson (@iamwcr) reported

    @andreaswittig @AWSSupport And then basically being told there isn’t a problem and to provide replication steps and examples… you know, like we already did weeks ago when we first reported it. I don’t get paid to hunt down AWS’ bugs for them.

  • hotmeteor Adam Campbell (@hotmeteor) reported

    @asheliahut @awscloud Geez. And ya, the lag on their status updates is so bad I honestly can’t see it as anything but a form of damage control. “Maybe if we wait long enough it’ll fix itself and no one will blame us for fires...”

  • kammilaj Kamila (@kammilaj) reported

    @asheliahut @awscloud im also facing issues in this zone

  • reorganise_ King ♏️ik 🇯🇲 (@reorganise_) reported

    @ViewsofS @Nationwideradio Believe it or not it was simple as locking a file on a Amazon S3 server so this should not reoccur with due diligence.
