Tell HN: AWS Is Down

  • Was looking for this post. We've been having very strange issues since ~11:30 AM ET in us-east-2. We have a DB instance that became suddenly unresponsive to queries even though we could still shell in, almost like a disk died or something. Rebooting the instance has been hanging for >30 minutes. Seeing a smattering of other things not working as intended as well.

  • https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status says everything is fine though /s

  • Widespread issues in us-east-2

    Rumors say construction cut a cable.

  • Our vendor tells us their product hosted in AWS Central is down because of an outage there.

  • On a Friday! Feels for Engineers handling this across companies. :-|
