Investigating reports of #DNS Resolution Issues
5:19 AM PDT We are investigating reports of problems resolving some DNS records hosted on Route53 using the third party DNS resolvers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 . DNS resolution using other third-party DNS resolvers or DNS resolution from within EC2 instances using the default EC2 resolvers are not affected at this time.
It seems that data collection (and, secondary, name resolution) works again at Google Public DNS.
