Ask HN: Is AWS down again?

Disclosure, I work for Datadog:

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.

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

From the page:

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

I know I could sure use some updog right about now.

Isn't that a kind of yoga pose?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
