Amazon Web Services Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • vwbusguy Scott Williams 🌹 (@vwbusguy) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Have dev login into manageiq and get ssh access there, since the Azure instance shows up in the group perms just like an AWS instance would.

  • EricJacksch Eric Jacksch (@EricJacksch) reported

    @awscloud Trying to report a significant networking issue that is obstructing communication with a Canadian federal government entity, and the only response I can find is to pay for support. This is an infrastructure issue, not a user configuration issue. Can you help?

  • catscouldruleus Whitney (@catscouldruleus) reported

    @DJHecTech @AMZNforClimate @awscloud No cities were destroyed first of all. Stop all that drama. The only elderly person I saw beaten was a man that was knocked down with such force that it cracked his skull and it was by police. What do you think would happen if these scum got away with murdering Pelosi, Pence ?

  • ch166 Chris Higgins (@ch166) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Add to that complexity is that customers can unintentionally create their own downtime .. so some effort has to go into "does this appear down because the customer is doing something that isn't going to work"

  • SeattleSunshin1 Seattle Sunshine | Biden Won (@SeattleSunshin1) reported

    @RepBethVanDuyne Lemme fix this: ✅Twitter suspended insurrectionists calling for violence and a fuckton of bots. ✅parlour was on @awscloud not google. (google coulda told ya.) ✅Parlour had MANY opportunities to comply with TOS-chose not to. ✅American capitalism=private companies have choices

  • laylasabourian Layla Sabourian (@laylasabourian) reported

    @AWSSupport Still having issues

  • divinegames Cheryl Gress (@divinegames) reported

    I just got spam from @awscloud regarding $2000 promotional credit for non-profits (of all sizes!) to switch to their platform. After they shut down Parler, I think I'll stick with self hosting.

  • heroinjunkies Jim (@heroinjunkies) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud I've heard people say that too, but the real reasons I've seen multi-cloud implemented are to either to meet customer requirements or concern that any single cloud provider could go down. "We may want to leave" sounds like a poor reason for the additional costs.

  • Kryten_42 Kryten42 (@Kryten_42) reported

    @FemzForever @FlossObama Good news! I had suspected (and hoped) that would be the case, when it took Amazon AWS most of a day to announce the take-down. No doubt the Parler Ops began deleting posts, but too late.

  • andydouglas1967 Andrew Douglas (@andydouglas1967) reported

    @AWSSupport Thanks - will do. It wasn't one of your tutorials at fault, and the issue isn't AWS related either.

  • dominguezdaniel Daniel Dominguez (@dominguezdaniel) reported

    @AWSSupport I cannot login into my account, can you help me?

  • vijayarx विजय | Vijay (@vijayarx) reported

    ... HostDime UK/US or Amazon AWS US and they are hosted in Europe and USA respectively. These orgs are known to share data with govt when asked to and can shut down when they don't like it (remember Parler on AWS)?

  • kordianbruck Kordian Bruck (@kordianbruck) reported

    @AWSSupport @QuinnyPig Oh it's going down now!

  • richfiles1 richfiles (@richfiles1) reported

    @awscloud @ajassy Parler's shutdown, in violation of contractual obligations, with no option given to comply (parler complied, btw) is all the reasoning NOT to rely on AWS. AWS CAN NOT GUARANTEE support of your server requirements if a TINY FRACTION of users arent moderated fast enough (they were)

  • MaltheJorgensen Malthe Jørgensen (@MaltheJorgensen) reported

    Hi @awscloud, we're seeing a lot of intermittent DNS errors for AWS RDS in eu-west-1 but there's nothing in our "Personal Health Dashboard". This is also affecting services like @rediscloud (e.g. DNS resolution of redis-*.c2.eu-west-1-3.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com)

  • StevenErick1976 Steven Erickson-Charles 🏳️‍🌈👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻 (@StevenErick1976) reported

    @UROCKlive1 @ShigeyoK @awscloud I hope the FBI have already picked this **** up ? Ya, Parler should have been shut down

  • QuinnyPig Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported

    Their milquetoast advice will work, but my terrible advice is way better! @AWSsupport: "Use RDS as your database!" Me: "Use Route 53 as your database!"

  • cloudpundit Lydia Leong (@cloudpundit) reported

    @PhillipBoushy @QuinnyPig @awscloud 8/ So containers/Kubernetes results in a more consistent and convenient deployment environment for the developers of code you might otherwise run in VMs. Thumbs up. But it gets maybe 5% of the way to solving the cloud portability/lock-in problem. /fin

  • JasonCox Jason Cox (@JasonCox) reported

    Is @awscloud having issues? I'm getting a ton of websites throwing "connection error" this morning.

  • Soph3D ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ (@Soph3D) reported

    @true_stonefoot @Not_the_Bee Clearly they didn't want to avoid big tech since they decided Amazon AWS was a good idea for a server host. Big brain plays by the idiots on the right as usual.

  • RLTW14 Ranger (@RLTW14) reported

    @AustraliaFair_ @of_dissident @KeithWoodsYT There's other dynamics at play too I'm guessing.. this specific platform (Vercel) is built atop Amazon AWS, who just themselves booted Parler;So these specific hosts may either be getting actual pressure from AWS or fear it themselves, & don't want their whole platform in trouble

  • hailter uɐʞɐɥ (@hailter) reported

    @AWSSupport I've configured all IAM resources as described in the docs but admin can't revoke access, user can see all the tables without having any permissions. Basically it's not working.

  • vwbusguy Scott Williams 🌹 (@vwbusguy) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud It's been nice to leverage both. Dev needs GPU enabled stuff that doesn't need to talk directly to our network, but that instance type isn't in our supported AWS region? Not a problem - deploy it on Azure.

  • poiThePoi Look up "Knuffelberen" (@poiThePoi) reported

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Amazon has a 15-minute pager SLA, so best case is 15 minute response -> 15 minute manager page. More likely 15 minute response -> debugging -> 15 minute secondary -> Oh hey outage -> manager page -> explanation -> message crafting (Actually hard!) -> "AWS is experiencing..."

  • MaltheJorgensen Malthe Jørgensen (@MaltheJorgensen) reported

    @kaspergrubbe @awscloud @rediscloud Curious timing – but I don't think it's related. We saw the first intermittent "lone" DNS error yesterday 11:51 UTC. But then really ramped up within the last hour with a series of incidents.

  • QuinnyPig Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported

    @aamirabbas_ @awscloud “At that point your entire engineering staff quits to go buy houses after a week of consulting for companies with way bigger problems. Next question?”

  • plamoni Pete Lamonica (@plamoni) reported

    @donk_enby Great description. Building is burning down and you’ve quickly organized a gang to systematically loot it. The @FBI should be working with @awscloud to preserve evidence of crimes. Exfiltrating inappropriately-public and posting it publicly is not cool.

  • vicario_rachel RACHEL VICARIO (@vicario_rachel) reported

    @PhilBrown62 @matthewstoller Here Twitter wasn't the road, amazon AWS & the app stores were. AWS being pulled is what took the website down, app or no app.

  • Perdesthai Perdesthai (@Perdesthai) reported

    @John_Capobianco @QuinnyPig @awscloud We used to do an annual scenario-based DR test - we had plane-lands-on-datacentre, team-leader-throws-self-and-SAN-down-lift-shaft, and entire-office-building-becomes-a-crime-scene-and-is-powered-down - I guess we could add failed-coup-makes-us-cloud-pariahs.

  • MoScarlet MoScarlet (@MoScarlet) reported

    Don’t think for a second BIG corporations aren’t thinking about @Amazon AWS shutting down their customers services simply due competition. Big can of worms opened - Discussions at high levels. What a day! @gregkellyusa
