    (7/n) Back to the @awscloud UID2 announcement. What does it mean in the context of UID2 go to market? First, it's a way for AWS to generate new compute w/ new & existing customers. Nearly one click generation of a UID2 Private Operator running in a locked down environment is 📈,

  • spatula75 Nicklas Johnson (@spatula75) reported

    Today in complete @AWScloud #******* behavior: configure a new Beanstalk environment, choose an ALB, but select a security policy the ALB doesn't support, it partially fails to create the env, AND WON'T LET YOU PICK A SUPPORTED POLICY TO FIX IT because the env is not "ready."

  • JamesCr71010872 James Crawford (@JamesCr71010872) reported

    @awscloud Why did you guys take down Parler then and not any other social media service?

  • calaifur Callie 🏳️‍🌈 (@calaifur) reported

    @HDoomguy yup, just like when it happened when the Amazon AWS server went down a few years ago, many sites went offline. it's like, super silly to have so much stuff run on a handful of hosts

  • BastionSF R. Leigh Hennig (@BastionSF) reported

    Uh, oh! Someone’s dealing with a Sev1 over at @awscloud Even their Status page is down, lol. So glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore.

  • irvinxyz SMS Irvin xNFT 🧁🌱 (@irvinxyz) reported from Manhattan, New York

    Decentralization — The chain didn’t go down, just the CDN that routes user queries to our site that lives on Amazon AWS instance in the cloud, and which caches and queries the blockchain.

  • Waqarquaid Malik Huraira (@Waqarquaid) reported

    Your VM is too outdated that it contain Microsoft Explore which is retired and I can't even download chrome @awscloud seriously you have given the hardest way to contact for our problem . 0 service

  • ZiggyTheHamster Keith Gable 🇺🇦🌻 (@ZiggyTheHamster) reported

    @ilamparithi_ja @QuinnyPig @awscloud You are assuming that the pricing is something they consider broken, and I’m not sure it is. Not my area, so just speculation. They must know this is a constant source of frustration and dunks by Corey.

  • BuildaPCGuide Just Paul (@BuildaPCGuide) reported

    @AWSSupport Wow you guys are on it... Wasn't aware of Cloudflare outage - my bad :(

  • bitcoinMyName Stable Nakamato (@bitcoinMyName) reported

    @The_Scientist_Y No a pos cannot fix it. If POS becomes to big. Amazon AWS can control whole of it. We need big machine with pow with large number of pools for decentralisation. And that is when the countries that adapt bitcoin start their own mining @jack is making machine that will help us

  • heartboppers_ Lily ✨ (@heartboppers_) reported

    was going to try to study aws more today. but it won’t let me sign into my new account 😠 it won’t even let me submit a ticket since i’m not signed in 😡 @AWSSupport fix this pls

  • Kan54615908 Kan (@Kan54615908) reported

    Lots of AWS hosting sites are down. Getting 500 internal server error. @AWS @awscloud @AWSCloudIndia

  • AudioBaton Ben Weddle (@AudioBaton) reported

    @awscloud @FFmpeg I stared at the server logs for hours trying to figure out what was wrong. I was stubborn enough to keep reading the docs, fiddling with config files, redeploying over and over, and I finally figured it out.

  • ilamparithi_ja Ilamparithi (@ilamparithi_ja) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Good part: you get to try to fix the NAT gateway pricing

  • tyrex_studio Ty Rex 🎹++ (@tyrex_studio) reported

    Seems like an AWS @awscloud outage

  • DogeDestinyApp Doge Destiny (@DogeDestinyApp) reported

    @MoralisWeb3 @IvanOnTech @awscloud Approx 1 years worth of hard work by a high level dev, Stay tuned, this needs to be made open source, They are trying to and will pin me down.

  • theorganizedguy Mandar Sawant (@theorganizedguy) reported

    These are the days counted in that last 9 of 99.9999999999999% uptime @awscloud #CloudComputing #Servers down.

  • nterminus Nish (@nterminus) reported

    Just me or are a bunch of @awscloud services down rn? Getting a 404 trying to access IAM, Route53, other services (including support) in the console. EC2 works, though, so not everything is broken.

  • juli1pb Julien Delange (@juli1pb) reported

    @joonaslehtinen @awscloud Totally. They should put a feature that shuts down services if you spend (or plan to spend) more than X$ within a 30 days period

  • KokiYaps Kok Kee (@KokiYaps) reported

    Probably @awscloud issue? It's a worldwide issue

  • GI_Fucken_Jack GI_Jack (@GI_Fucken_Jack) reported

    TIL that amazon AWS has a cloud practitioner educational game. Its about as ******* terrible as it sounds.

  • ryancormack Ryan Cormack (@ryancormack) reported

    I'm trying to recover my MFA for an AWS account root user. I've got access to the email and phone number. I verify my email, and when it asks about the phone number, it immediately errors without calling me. I can't log in to the support Console. @AWSSupport Can you help?

  • Breaded_Cat Davé (@Breaded_Cat) reported

    @frisktastique League is also down, not that it matters 👀 Yeah you think its amazon aws again? or google servers

  • joonaslehtinen Joonas Lehtinen (@joonaslehtinen) reported

    @juli1pb @awscloud I have read many stories along the similar lines: AWS team being nice and cancelling. The problem is that one would be at their mercy and the cancellation not being guaranteed. Furthermore, electricity and resources are already used. So Amazon loses.

  • azuthehoppou Azu Chan (@azuthehoppou) reported

    Discord, league, crunchyroll, vrc, and I'm sure a bunch of other things are down. Amazon AWS servers you good?

  • QuinnyPig Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported

    Eagerly awaiting the postmortem / salty tweets from @awscloud implying we’re all idiots because we saw AWS issues on @downdetector.

  • theorganizedguy Mandar Sawant (@theorganizedguy) reported

    Who is down @Cloudflare or @awscloud ? Please decide and let us know.

  • joonaslehtinen Joonas Lehtinen (@joonaslehtinen) reported

    @gabrielakos @awscloud Sure. That does not change the core of the problem.

  • danielfatkic Daniel_F (@danielfatkic) reported

    @awscloud and @Cloudflare are just too big. Once one of them has a problem, half of the internet is down:(

  • nayan1875 Nayan Padrai (@nayan1875) reported

    @AmazonHelp @alexa99 @awscloud seems all Amazon services are down. logged out. Alexa reset and talking on her own
