Is Amazon Web Services down?

Instead of building their own servers most game companies will use Amazon AWS servers to build theirs and this is exactly what Epic Games do but the problem is there are no AWS servers in South Africa but there will be in 2020 so until then there will be no servers :(

@JamieMSmyth @awscloud @Oracle I was mistaken. They only shut down their largest farm. 88% will be retired by end of year. Sorry.

So 1st qtr of next year I'm getting certified in either @Azure , @GCPcloud or @awscloud. The problem is which one do I start first. All three of them are looking enticing right now.

@awscloud Please, launch the AWS Transcribe for Portuguese language. GCP is full of errors in transcription.

@awscloud But the sad thing is it’s still not as cheap as godaddy for a server hosting multiple small domains due to route53’s obscene costs for DNS.

Just canceled my @awscloud support account. I'm sick of paying to be ignored by people who act incompetent and cant even keep systems online. If I file a ticket that a system is DOWN its an emergency, anything less is not acceptable. Now looking for alternatives to AWS.

i miss talking about amazon s3: HEROKU IS DOWN PANIC

@HammanHydro @WillingCarol @rabernat @Google @awscloud @jakevdp Absolutely! I was not shaming @jakevdp, a long-time friend whose contributions are too many to count. This is a hard, systemic problem. But we must recognize that very small teams w/ minimal resources are shouldering an impossible load; rel. with industry is highly imbalanced.

. @awscloud needs a way to bulk change a storage class from the cli or console. Having to go thru millions of files is painfully slow.

@vielmetti @worksonarm @awscloud @ChromiumDev @firefox @Docker @Rancher_Labs Woot! Made the news with a link to our article on #Ubuntu Server 18.04 for #RaspberryPi ! 🙂

@FortniteGame It would be great if AFRICA could at least get a server. There is Amazon AWS here

Impressed with how well @awscloud made getting a new project working with S3 even harder than before with Amplify! If I was billing by the hour, I would kiss you all. Hiding the old documentation really takes the cake though, and not working with us-west-1, well, that's icing!

Even more interestingly, Amazon doesn't even WANT to be the world's retailer! They don't even WANT IT! They want to be the world's mall for 3rd party retailers and landlord to Prime subscribers and big data 1s & 0s virtual server dwellers (via AWS).

@AWSSupport After trying a bazillion different things, it seems bumping the instance size fixed the issue. No real indication (CPU/mem metrics) that was the issue but no more deploy timeouts today.

On my todo / wish list: - Propagating #MDC context from our services to @awscloud lambdas - I never get around to finishing up work on my pet #Wiremock based stubbing server project - Moving our tracing server from POC to production using #terraform - Deleting code (Yay!)

In order to increase the server speed for registrations of @happynest_ap flats, they used Amazon AWS, while we fight for data privacy & data localization! Real visionaries working under visionaries in AP #LMAO

@mims like the fact that Amazon dot com still has not fixed their broken 2FA, nor has the company taken any real steps to stem the constant stream of breaches due to configuration errors on AWS

@awscloud Terrible shopping experience wd Amazon. I didn't get my product yet. Unhappy wd ur services. Bad delivery experience compare to other online shopping websites. I hope, I will never buy anything from ur site. Called customer support many times. They didn't resolve it yet

@AWSSupport It's not my AWS resource, I can't file a ticket for it. It's a bug in your DNS layer which appears to be effecting all Australian and New Zealand users of all sites using your Cloudfront product I shouldn't have to sign up and replicate the problem to get this resolved.

@clare_liguori @geetharganesh @abbyfuller @awscloud There were just very basic things that bugged me about it, very slow to push / pull in comparison to github / gitlab.. Code pipeline stages not very configurable and again not fast enough to kick off - didn’t seem to run off the back of instant hooks

Most of the employees have a virtual desktop (Amazon workspaces and the like) that they need to access in order to do their job (I use AWS) so if anyone has an issue with them, like moving files from one VM to another VM, he'll explain to you why you can't do that

There's so much I love about @googlecloud, but their paid support is beyond useless. It always takes days of back and forth before they even acknowledge an issue, and then they don't actually help fix anything! There's lots I didn't like about @awscloud, but their support was OK!

@emanuil_tolev Agree with valuing yourself when consulting, the issue is amazon isn’t actually paying those consultants that rate. They make a profit off of providing their talent in aws services - there is little data amazon pays any aws consultants over $600k annually based on glassdoor

@AWSSupport Your call support system is currently broken.

@TheCoffeeSnolf Despite "killing" other retailers, Amazon's eCommerce units took a $919M operating loss this year. The real money at Amazon has been AWS Cloud services for some time now. They own 58% of the cloud server market. Interesting that Netflix runs on AWS, and Prime video too.

@CarolinePeckham @AmazonKDP @AmazonHelp @amazon @awscloud Oh my gosh!!!! I hope this gets fixed ASAP!!!! I’m so sorry this happened to you!!! Amazon, PLEASE help fix this!!!!🙏🏼

i cant stop thinking about amazon s3: HEROKU IS DOWN FOR THIS COUNTRY BUT YALL AINT HAVIN NONE OF THAT SHIT

@awscloud appears to be perfectly happy to let you spin down instances, then when you try to spin up new one tell you that your account is locked and that there's nothing they can do about your P0 until you break the rest of your infrastructure

@grabbou @FastlaneTools @fbjest @zeithq @heroku @googlecloud @awscloud never had big problems with AWS CLI tool, but I wouldn't consider it "great". But it is a huge pain to install. Need to install python, then pip, then aws-cli. There is homebrew script but I never managed to get it to work.

@Shirastweet #AI is what @awscloud uses to scale their #security and #support teams. 80% stuff is scripted and when #AI detects an anomaly against a stated policy or sees issue in a ticket, it just runs the scripts and verified the fix! #cloud #automation #Intelligence #telemetry

@chrislovecnm @CloudNativeFdn @awscloud @GCPcloud I dont know if etcd is an issue, I think it would be rly interesting to integrate kops with the etcd cloud operator. IIRC kops runs etcd as static pods, which fits well with the operator model, may just b a matter of changing the docker image and adding a bucket for backups+lb.

@uprightvinyl @copumpkin @abbyfuller @awscloud I opened a new issue and they ended up locking it down so the public can no longer comment or open issues up. It's still cool to have the roadmap but a bit disappointing they aren't opening it up to feedback.

I’m literally livid because my amazon package didn’t know up on time and now I have to wait until after Christmas break to give my instructors their present. First world problems. #whydoipayforprime @awscloud

@awscloud I understand that bounces are a real problem but we have followed all of the steps requested and after 24 hours our #SES is still suspended and we have not heard from @AWSSupport. Obviously email is an important part of our information infrastructure.

I think I'll try out @awscloud Lightsail today for a new messing-around server...

Amazon making chips and making them only available via AWS is bad for consumers. The client-server model is an instrument of oppression. Creating an environment where consumers don't even own the hardware necessary to run their computations is far more nefarious.

@AWSSupport Thx. It looks like a routing issue of either Colt or Swisscom then - or one of the hops afterwards.

🤡 When is @awscloud going to FIX WORKMAIL'S DISAPPEARING INBOX SUBFOLDERS since I can't ask SUPPORT despite PAYING for service I thought I'd tweet to the WHOLE WORLD how much #AWS sucks.

@APompliano Amazon/AWS is delocalized, not decentralized. Last time I checked, Amazon was a company with centralized authority (Jeff Bezos, CEO), and had centralized server farms.

@AmazonHelp Why r u asking all concern to personal mail. What's happening on social. Does your relationship go down👇 with your customer or does it impact on your business @JeffBezos @amazon @awscloud @amazonIN @AmazonUK @DainikBhaskar @timesofindia @WhiteHouse @ZeeBusiness @CNBC_Awaaz @wef

@9GAG amazon S3 is down

@pwang @vllry @kelseyhightower Exactly. As long as you need to provision some kind of performance unit, however abstract, the fact that some server must exist to fulfill the services leaks through (most managed databases). You can only claim it‘s serverless when it auto-scales. (@awscloud Aurora Serverless).

@Pruit_Igoe @Billbrowder @slpng_giants @awscloud @Fanatics @amazon @JeffBezos - FIX this ASAP

... not sure if static compilation has an issue or the lambda execution environment, as it also was not possible to compile a @CrystalLanguage app using the amazon linux docker image, that runs on the same version as the AWS lambda environment (2/2)

@AWSSupport Dude I don't go to school I tried a Walmart card that shit didn't work what do I do here idk if I Wana do Google or windows the IBM one looks ok but that shuts asking 200$ down i want a platform to start building on I'm poor on SSi can't afford a good pc or server plz help
