AWS is down. A major AWS outage has taken down several popular services worldwide, including Signal, Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat and many more. The specific cause of the service outage is currently unclear, according to AWS and they are working on fix. Yup, it is US-EAST-1

@nixCraft it's ALWAYS US-EAST-1
@renatoram @nixCraft It's becomming the new "it's always DNS", although that may well end up being the cause anyway.
@pugmiester @renatoram @nixCraft Confirmed. 😀 One of their status updates said: "Based on our investigation, the issue appears to be related to DNS resolution..."

@pugmiester @renatoram @nixCraft it was dns

"Based on our investigation, the issue appears to be related to DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1."

This, Jen, is the US-EAST-1

@mms Wow, it looks so small. 😉

@mms
looks fine 2 me no smoke visible... and i haven't received an email from Maurice Moss with Subject: Burning US-EAST-1 Help!
@anduril @mms did you also check the answering machine on 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3?
@elvith
🤣 yeah i called the private emergency services ... they only had a tape saying:" Have you already tried turning it off and on again"
@mms
@anduril @elvith @mms I guess this explains the outage. 😂
@elvith @anduril @mms Wow, what an easy to remember number!
@mms See, Jen, we call this a Localstack.
@mms So, so good. Thank you. 🙂
@mms it's wireless!

xkcd: The Cloud

@nixCraft isn't this one of the things "the cloud" promises wouldn't be a problem?
you know... the auto failovers and redundency and magic and so on?

@kaasbaas @nixCraft I mean, if you weren't hosting in the one region that always has the problems, sure!

although... IAM went down as well, so even then you might've had auth problems.

@uastronomer @nixCraft oof...IAM also?
sjoe. eina.
@kaasbaas @nixCraft Yeah. I was getting auth errors even when trying to use the CLI!
@nixCraft Well I'm glad they let us know they are fixing it. I thought they were just going to sit there and do nothing /s 🤪
@nixCraft During every outage in us-east-1 I swear to migrate all workloads to a different region. But then …
@nixCraft please, make the cause being vibe-coding (vibe-devopsing) 🤞
@corpsmoderne @nixCraft They will never admit it, as it would be a fault of company strategy.
@nixCraft The CH Signal seems to be doing fine - probably also other EU Signal and other services.
@nixCraft I was going to guess US-East-1. I’m just glad my husband switched roles and I no longer have to hear his stupid work phone blaring an alert in the middle of the night when he’s on call and the shit hits the fan.

@nixCraft US-East-1 is starting the week the right way, by showing up late. ;-)
@nixCraft It had to be Windows Updates.
un, I would be very surprised if any of their critical infrastructure runs Windows
IS IT DNS?

The ultimate DNS troubleshooting tool. Think it might be DNS? It probably is! It's always DNS.

@nixCraft everyone put their thing on the same service, what could possibly go wrong ?

and yeat at each outage they all are mad ... yet do not migrate elsewere than Google, Amazon or Microsoft. ...

i'm not on service that use it (exept signal did not even see it).

i guess those people don't want client like me that actually actively avoid anything hosted on aws

@nixCraft #DeltaChat is right there, folks 
@nixCraft Strange, I think signal still working in France...
