Amazon AWS/EC2 seems to be having issues.

samstave• 15 years ago

I think its AWS I get the following for reddit as well:

An error occurred while processing your request. Reference #97.8fa41160.1312856795.489b05e0

EDIT: My daughter just alerted me to netflix streaming being down as well. Asking if I can fix Netflix's internet, she is 6.

This started (with reddit) 10 to 15 minutes ago - Netflix, about 3 minutes...

Netflix probably failed out later since the video was buffered onto your computer. The failure was probably at about the same time.

There seems to be a really widespread EC2 outage. My company's site is down and we're in multiple availability zones. Foursquare is down as well.

AWS definitely down, at least for US-east-1a US-east-1d. Several servers unresponsive.

Support tickets submitted, but their dashboard still shows clean.

Life 2.0 - Amazon goes down, half of your assets are unavailable. Hello SkyNet!

I've been moving over to EC2 and use S3 and Route 54. I am starting to wonder if Amazon, which I think Heroku also uses, is reliable. It isn't just with the system as a whole too (like the outage they are having now).

I've had 3 servers out of 22, in around 1 month, degrade. I've only had the servers for a few months. That is like 6% degradation a month on servers. Every server has redundancy, but still...

Is EC2 worth the risk?

dotCloud is struggling as well ... Amazon US-EAST-1 out :P

rje• 15 years ago

From the AWS service health page at: http://status.aws.amazon.com/

7:39 PM PDT We are investigating connectivity issues for EC2 in the US-EAST-1 region.

7:50 PM PDT We can verify connectivity issues between instances in the US-EAST-1 region and the Internet.

heroku is working fine for me now, got 2 projects hosted on it

rglover• 15 years ago

Hm, running a staging server for our app on Heroku and it seems to be up and running. Maybe just a temporary outage?

ZephyrP• 15 years ago

Fucking AWS.

calciphus• 15 years ago

I've got a dozen or so projects hosted on Heroku. They're all up.

Work has at least 100. No Pingdom alarms in my inbox yet.

kirillzubovsky2• 15 years ago

Right, unless of course Pingdom uses AWS ...

Heroku's down. Anyone else experiencing problems?
