Reply to: AWS outage

[Scruff]

I have a Route-53 DNS for one of my domains, and not noticed any issues.

FWIW I was working all afternoon and much of the evening on an EC2 VM and RDS database instance both located in eu-west-1 and didn't notice any problems.

Would this also be the same outage that caused problems for the track and trace teams?

They had some kind of serious outage this afternoon - anyone know what happened?

Not according to https://status.aws.amazon.com/ they didn't. Plenty of reports of 'no recent events' though, except for a small issue in Ireland early this morning.

We need to migrate the Gricer subroutine to AWS and cause an outage.

Stack overflow on recursive sockie calls - it's the Inception all over again!!!

This is the only one flagged

6:17 AM PDT We are investigating network connectivity issues for some instances in a single Availability Zone in the EU-WEST-1 Region.
6:37 AM PDT Network connectivity has been restored for the vast majority of the affected instances in a single Availability Zone in the EU-WEST-1 Region. Some EBS volumes within the affected Availability Zone are also experiencing degraded performance. We continue to work towards full recovery.
7:35 AM PDT Starting at 5:35 AM PDT we experienced power and network connectivity issues for some instances, and degraded performance for some EBS volumes in a single Availability Zone in the EU-WEST-1 Region. By 6:00 AM PDT, power and networking connectivity had been restored for affected instances and by 6:31 AM PDT, degraded performance for affected EBS volumes had been resolved. By 7:08 AM PDT, the vast majority of affected instances had fully recovered. The small number of remaining instances are hosted on hardware which was adversely affected by the loss of power. While we will continue to work to recover all affected instances and volumes, for immediate recovery, we recommend replacing any remaining affected instances or volumes if possible. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally

Suity is PMing the rollout.

Private Messaging on CUK?

I am outraged

They were loading up the second wave to start the distribution.

It had to be brought down so that 5G could do an emergency SARS-CoV-2 patch.

I believe it was an outage

Anyone know whether the timing was before or after noon and whether it was serious?
